Extractions: Buy ADHD Books Here! Secrets for Parents Help is here for Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD) Children! Teachers are constantly telling them to "pay attention...sit still...try harder." Parents dont seem to understand why their child seems so much brighter than their school grades indicate. The children themselves are often trying very hard, though no one seems to believe them. Fighting in the home can become unmanageable. These children are called behavior problems, a nuisance, mentally handicapped, they are hated by their peers, and socially labeled. These children are embarrassed by their inability to learn the way other children do. They are laughed at by their school mates when they attend "Special Ed" classes because they have difficulty learning to read. Homes of the ADHD child are often in chaos. There is rarely a peaceful time. Parents are angry, frustrated, disappointed and guilt ridden. They feel inadequate as a parent. Marriages have been destroyed over this.

Extractions: Methylphenidate (available as the brand-name product Ritalin) is a Schedule II stimulant which is structurally and pharmacologically similar to the amphetamines. Approximately 85 to 90% of all prescriptions for methylphenidate are written for young children and adolescents for the treatment of ADHD. According to the United Nations 1993 statistics on psychotropic substances, the U.S. produces and consumes more than 80% of the total world supply of methylphenidate. The United Nations International Narcotics Control Board has, on two recent occasions, written letters to U.S. officials expressing concern about the sharp increase in the use of methylphenidate in the United States. Support and advisory groups play an important role in the distribution of information regarding ADHD and its treatment. In recent years there have been large increases in membership in these organizations. Children and Adults with Attention Deficit Disorder (CHADD) is the nation's largest ADHD support organization. CHADD sponsors parent support groups, convenes meetings featuring speakers, works with local school systems and provides information regarding ADHD and related issues.

Extractions: When the youngest, Jakeadhd, was trying new meds and a new school, he had behavior problems. He ended up getting away from special ed teacher and hitting/kicking principal. This caused them to call police as my husband and I were out of town shopping. The police were never told he was special needs, the school did NOT give police his meds, and they put him into temporary foster care til we got home. This happened around ten in the morning and we didnt get home til around two thirty. My son had charges pressed against him by the school/principal. The court appointed lawyer thought he was just a brat til I contacted him to tell of his adhd. Then I had to do all the calling and getting information to the lawyer. We ended up with Jake in a diversionary program. It still cost us hundreds of dollars.
