September is ADHD MonthSeptember is almost over now so I guess I should of had my head out of the clouds and posted this earlier. But hey the saying better late than never can pertain to my blog posting too 
The first time I heard ADHD I didn’t know what it meant. All I knew was that someone was telling me that there was something wrong with my baby.
ADHD isn’t as serious as other things (thank goodness) but it’s still been a pretty long road with Caleb. It has such a negative impact on my son’s life because of the school labeling him as a ‘problem’ child and other kids picking on him because he can’t concentrate or sit still and thus getting in trouble all the time.
ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a condition that becomes apparent in some children in the preschool and early school years. It is hard for these children to control their behavior and/or pay attention. It is estimated that between 3 and 5 percent of children have ADHD, or approximately 2 million children in the United States. This means that in a classroom of 25 to 30 children, it is likely that at least one will have ADHD.
And that one child has been my son ever since he started school several years ago. It’s been a hard road to walk but the both of us keep putting one foot in front of the other and taking it one day at a time.
So you can imagine I’ll be talking a lot about Caleb and his ADHD and the journey we’ve been through since he was first diagnosed back in 2002 (maybe it was 2003 I can’t remember now).
