Parents were shocked by a recent report which stated that a majority of teenagers engaged in dealing in ADHD drugs (such as Ritalin and Strattera and Vyvense) had gotten their supplies from the family medicine chests ! Parents are now becoming much more aware of alternative medicines for ADHD and know that there are alternatives out there which will not turn their children into drug users and ruin their childhood and adolescence.

Teacher Knows Best?
Many thousands of ADHD children are treated with powerful psychostimulant drugs. I read a recent blog post about a thirteen year old boy whose teacher insisted that he should be put on Ritalin. The parents’ doctor agreed to give him Ritalin but after some time noticed some strange side effects :- he was moody, ate paper and pencils and was generally displaying ‘psychotic episodes’. After a succession of ADHD drugs (including Paxil which has NOT been approved by the FDA for children under 18!), the parents decided to take him off all drugs. The school expelled him as they insisted that he should be on Ritalin. The good news is that the boy is now homeschooled, is off all ADHD drugs and is doing much better.

Behaviour Therapy
Behaviour therapy is sometimes considered for ADHD children. This functions by setting up a rewards/cancelling priveleges for good and bad behaviour. Some of these procedures can range from simple checking off lists to software programs which records scores and everything else!

TV Parenting?
Active parenting is another way to approach ADHD. This can range from clear scheduling, setting of chores, listening skills and a whole range of techniques which ensures that the child’s behaviour is monitored and s/he is surrounded by love and attention and is not left alone with a TV or PC.

Cognitive Therapy
Some parents also consider cognitive therapy which is basically ‘how you think is how you feel’. Let me give you an example. If the child is encouraged, he will build his self esteem, improve his self confidence which in turn will lead to optimism. The child’s positive thought patterns are influencing his behaviour which will invariably improve.

Dangerous Additives
Keeping an eye on a child’s diet and helping them to avoid consuming large amounts of children’s sweets and snack foods which tend to contain dangerous colourings which can cause hyperactivity is a good strategy, whatever ADHD treatment you adopt. The Hyperactive Children’s Support Group have identified 21 colourings which should be avoided at all costs, yet many of these are still available in the UK! There is convincing evidence to support the fact that many of these colourings are linked to hyperactivity and ADHD.

ADHD alternative medicine can consist in one or several of the above but most parents prefer adopting an alternative ADHD therapy which is natural /herbal or homeopathic rather than risking the side effects of ADHD drugs. Why not join the thousands of parents who refuse to have the wool pulled over their eyes and who are waking up to the safe, economical and effective natural ADHD cures.
