I’m a typical mother who attends mother’s group meeting at local church. I’m looking forward to get together with those lovely and pretty ladies as I am every week because we also take this time for sharing parenting tips, fellowship and swapping stories about our little ones. Well most of the time, the topics are lighthearted but there are instances in which other moms are sharing their thoughts and struggles with ADHD medication. Actually, this is when things become a real blessing for everyone of us, to be a part of an understanding and supportive group.
From the time being that I am part of the group, I realized one thing and that is that we all have a common denominator. No family has everything figured out, no parents exactly know what they are doing and there is no perfect way of raising a child. There are occasions when I check my social media accounts and see inspirational posts and other ideas I can try. I see all white kitchens, perfectly mid century modern furniture in the living room and stark walls, something that any real mother would love to have in their home. Then as I browse pages, I stumble on parents with kids who are taking ADHD medication, which made me think how they are able to take up such challenge.
Our group doesn’t hop on visually heavy platforms such as seeing the real, nitty gritty aspects of life. Instead, we are going there to visualize for a moment on what our homes will look like without dealing with tricycle knicks on floorboards, peanut butter on the walls, scattered kitchenware. This idea alone is very refreshing and appealing and it’s not a big surprise why it is enthralling everyone of us.
No parents would have it figured out and is not that a freeing thought? There are some who avoid children’s museum for the fear of germs running rampant during the flu season and some are flocking to places to have a change of scenery than the usual and do some fun activities. Some are attending therapy sessions while others make use of prescription ADHD medication. In a nutshell, every parent has a different battle and they have different approaches to deal with it and keep children happy.
Basically, meeting those parents gave me a breath of fresh air to what approach to be taken in raising a child with ADHD condition. I learned valuable tips like using ADHD medication. It can be a good idea actually to try new activities and give your child with prescription ADHD medication.
