mom of an ADHD child

[jewelswith4]

 hello im julie, i have  four children and the oldest was diagnosed with ADHD when she was five. weput her on adder-all she was on that for a year and i took her off of it because she was very pale and wouldn't eat. so she hasn't been  on any medicine since. she seems ok i have to remind her of what she is suppose to be doing all the time. some times i catch her doing really weird things like chewing on the blinds or chewing on her bunk beds. shes put her brothers diaper on before and pooped in it then hid it behind her dresser. like i said sometimes it can be really exhausting because you really have to be on top of thing when it comes to an ADHD child.
