Hi sherry
Thanks for being on the look out for all these interesting websites!!
I had a look and it does look as though it could provide lots of useful info. Unfortunately when I tried to get further into the site it needed me to register and that proved a problem. I read it that I would have to be a junior doctor to register and access the information - is that correct?

Hi Annie,
I probably shouldn't say this, but you can make up a name to register with.

I registered as myself as a user/patient. You can also register as a Parent or the last option is Other. The site is open to anyone.

Im sure my girl, who is going to be 7 in a month had ADHD as well. Like myself it isnt too bad. She is a very bright and bubbly girl who loves interacting and loves interesting games puzzles. Very intelligent. She has all the good symptoms of ADHD. I was exactly the same but as Ive got older Ive noticed that I really have underachieved and continue to do so. Ive only really noticed the ADHD has started to get to me as I have got older and have got responsibilites. Although I deal with them I do find I get overwhelmed really easily. Diverging there a bit...
Anyway, the point is that I dont think my daughter needs any drugs to help her. I really would like to learn how to help her deal with the chaos and distractions without drugs. I know how difficult it is myself but Ive got to try. I am not that worried about her but I would hate to see her in my position right now, dissapointed in herself that she underchieved.
Has anyone any experience in this?

Only just seen this. Unless you see problems now, it is usually moving to secondary school. I would suggest making sure she has all the support she needs with stuff when she moves to big school, like a copy of her timetable on the wall at home, laminate a copy for her and maybe give her friend a copy. I was OK because my friends always knew where they were going and I just wandered with them. Help her work out that she needs to sort out what she needs each day by going through the subjects the night before. ( I am such a hypocrite I know what works but don't do it myself). I find different colours for different things helps me a lot but I don't know if that works for everyone. She might need a bit of extra checking that she writes her homework down, I used to not bother and then forget. She might resent that interference though. Its all a balance.
Other than that its all about getting good habits. If her mum is not ADHD that will probably help with that.
Also exercise as you know is good.
Anyway, try not to worry she will be fine, she is already ahead of the game becuase if it is adhd, her dad understands. And the support is out there now much more than it was for us.

Please can someone point me in the direction of a good site for parents for ADD/ADHD children? Preferably a UK site, thanks. I'm looking for general info on diagnosis as well as getting-on-with-life info
Thanks
