Hi Jest29! Sounds like you’ve really got your hands full! Keeping up with three young boys is challenging enough and then to add ADHD on top of that. You mentioned that they had all been diagnosed together, and I’m wondering, other than medication (and I completely understand how you’re hesitant to go that route!), did your doc direct you to any other information that would help you to better understand and manage ADHD with your boys? I came across some articles that I wanted to share with you – just search ADHD on the Focus on the Family website – thought this might be a good place to start. I know from having worked with this organization that they are a great source of all kinds of parenting advice and resources. A book came to mind as I read your post – Making Children Mind Without Losing Yours, by Dr, Kevin Leman – a little humor and lots of good practical suggestions J - hope this helps… Hang in there!
