Hi Jest29! Sounds like you've really got your hands full! Keeping up with three young boys is hard enough- I can only imagine what a challenge it is to be dealing with ADHD on top of everything else. You mentioned that they had all been diagnosed together, and I'm wondering, other than prescribing medication (and I completely understand how you're hesitant to go that route!), did the doc make any effort to direct you to information that would help you to better understand ADHD and how to manage it with your boys? I came across some articles that I wanted to mention to you - just search ADHD on the Focus on the Family website - thought this might be helpful as a place to start. I also know from having worked with this organization that they are a great source of all kinds of parenting resources. A book that came to mind as I read your post is Making Children Mind Without Losing Yours, by Dr. Kevin Leman - a little humor with lots of very practical suggestions. Hope this helps... Hang in there
