RE: ADHD Children - How to tire them out naturally! - Climbing trees of course!

One of the main issues he faces is when he gets overwhelmed with his hyperactivity, is that it causes issues with his tourette's, (He has full body spasms that look similar to a fit) so if we can intercept it before it gets to that stage, it is much better for him. The outdoors really is one of the best ways to do this for us :)

I understand that and I wish more people thought this way, might help them a lot, depending on their kids diagnosis.

It is hard as a parent because you want the doctor to tell you 'here, take this pill and you will be all better' but in reality, they don't know how to treat it. I think there are too many differences and nobody knows a child like the parent, so I think taking a doctor's advice is OK, but sometimes a parent knows better. My son is very self aware too and can talk openly about how he is feeling, which helps a lot as we can tackle it together. Schooling is an issue, but that is a whole other blog lol

Much love to you <3

thank you :)
