Has your child’s ADHD/behavior ever driven you over the edge to the point where you could hurt them?
A post on ADDitude Magazine’s ADHD Parenting Blog brought this subject up yesterday. I give the author credit for her honesty and in case you’re wondering, she has never hurt her daughter. The article is about how close she has come to letting “…that last thread of self-control snap.”
Her description of her daughter’s behavior (and the whole article really) shocked me. I’ve never associated this kind of out of control behavior with ADHD. Keep in mind that in addition to my own children, I worked as an ADD Coach for many years, so I’ve been exposed to a lot of kids with ADHD.
Is this something that you can relate to? Have I missed something? I would love it if you would read this article and give me your thoughts. I’m still just trying to process this.
