When Someone Finally Hears
Have you ever had this experience? You call tech support and told them of your problem, and the tech guy said, “Do such and such.” So, you did it, and it still didn’t work. You tell him, and he says. “Well it should work now. We do that all the time and it works. So it should be okay.” But it is still not working!
You want to climb through the phone line at that point, right? I find myself saying. “I know you think it should be working. But can you hear me telling you that it is not working? I know it should, but it is not. What it should be doing is not helping me. Can you help me or not?” This goes no where so you start to give up Until.
You call back and get a different person. This time you tell the tech guy your problem and he says, “Oh no! That’s so frustrating. That should not happen to you, let me see how I can help and get it fixed for you.” I want to scream, “Thank you, Jesus! You sent me an angel!” It just feels so good for someone to finally hear.
Do you hear your children? How can we listen better?
What do you think?

Negative Self-Talk
Low-self esteem, self-doubt, and lack of confidence
can make some look as if they have ADD. Of course,
having ADD makes one more prone to these problems.
Negative self-talk often stems from having people
talk in a negative way toward you, although this
is not always the case. Type 5 (Limbic) ADD is
often associated with excessive negativity.
If the experience is excessive negativity maybe you could
change the environment by going some where fun or give them
an exciting challenge to do?
Point out what they have done good. Praise them for it.

You Know You have ADD When:
It takes four alarm clocks going off for an hour to get you up in the morning.
You are ready to go somewhere thirty minutes ahead of time and you still leave late.
Even you can’t read your own handwriting.
You read the paper, put on your makeup, and talk on the phone, all at the same time -while driving.
Your desk, room, and book bag look like the leftovers from a nuclear bomb test.
You take a stimulant at bedtime and you feel relaxed enough to go to sleep.
You try to listen to your partner at the same time you are reading a book and watching TV.
You incessantly tease the pets.
Your piles have children.
You are addicted to the struggle but worn out by the struggle.
You start your day with a worry.
The first day of school you were out of step with others.
Learning to read.
Learning times tables.
Algebra.
Foreign language.
Going away to school.
Writting papers.
Getting projects in on time.
Taken from the Book “Healing ADD The Breakthrough Program
That Allows You to See and Heal the 6 Types of ADD”

A personal note
I have not only studied ADD from a student’s perspective, I have lived it at home. All four of my own children have been diagnosed. I myself have lived with ADD my whole life. My parents realized when I was in third grade something was different with me than my three sisters.
My Mother kept insisting to the School and teachers something was different and the teachers just said, oh you’re just comparing Catherine with her sisters. Thank God she had the sense not to believe them when thay really didn’t even know me; after all she’s my Mother.
I know the disaster from the inside out. I know what it is like.
─ to have trouble holding a small child because he is in nonstop motion.
─ to chase a child through the store.
─ to look on in fear as a 4 year old child darts across a busy parking lot.
─ to watch a child take four hours to do twenty minutes of homework.
─ to have to repeat myself forty- two times to get a child up in the morning every day for
years.
─ to be frustrated and not to become angry every morning for years because a child is
continually ten minutes late.
─ to be always on alert in a store or at a friend’s house so that my child won’t touch or
break anything.
─ to be guilty about the negative feelings I have toward a child after I’ve told him or her
not to do something for the tenth- million time.
─ to be interrupted without mercy while I’m on the phone or in a conversation
in person with someone.
─ to live with angry outburst that has little or no reason to.
I think you get my point.

The cause of learning difficulties
We now know that a common factor is many of these conditions is a part
of the brain called the cerebellum, which links to nearly all major centers
of the brain.
The cerebellum is key to the learning process, making skills become
automatic through practice. But, if the cerebellum is not working
effectively then it is very likely you will struggle with one or more
of the following, poor reading and writing, concentration, coordination
or social skills.
To get directly to the root cause of your learning difficulties is by
stimulating the cerebellum to work more effectively and address the
symptoms.

Learn to Love Yourself First!
Have you noticed that too many people labor under the misconception
that we should sacrifice our own happiness for others? I believe that is
foolish. The one very best favor we can do for those we love is to work
harder on ourselves than we do on anything else.
An unhappy marriage and an unhappy family are the results of unhappy
individuals who live together. If everyone would learn to do what is
necessary to like themselves, they would automatically solve their own problems.
And if you are close to someone who insists on not liking themselves, then extract
yourself from being around that person, they will kill you!
Learning to like or love ourselves is really not a violation of any
community ordinance, material vow, or spiritual law, and yet some
people think there is something terribly wrong with it.
Unless they have rewritten it lately, the Bible still instructs ─
“Love your neighbor as you love yourself.” The very obvious suggestion is
that it is quite normal to love yourself!
How can we possibly love when we do not even understand the
meaning of the word as it applies to us?
How can I possibly give love to someone else when I do not have it for myself?
You cannot give that which you do not have.
I may say the words “I love you.” to someone else, perhaps because it is expected of me or because it seems to be what is said in a given situation. But I cannot truly give the “deep inside emotion.” that goes with those words unless I know of their deepest meaning for myself in my own private self world.
Please pass this on to your kids.
“Everything we say needs to be good and helpful so our words are encouraging to the children who hear them.”

You’re not weird or coldhearted.
You have ADD.
Your brain focuses on the connections and relationships between things more than on specific bits of information, so you are likely to drift away from a single thought into a complex web of feelings and ideas.
Don’t beat yourself up or feel helpless because of it.
Blogs are a good source of strategies, ideas, and resources, but the caution that they may not help everyone.
Other people’s experiences may be very different from your own, so what worked for them may not work for you.
Many of us have different perspectives.
One person’s success may be another person’s failure.
Blogs may also be inaccurate.
Keep a healthy skepticism when reading them.
Bloggers are always free to say what they want.
Don’t take everything as gospel truth.

Good,happy or hopeful thoughts
Every time you have a good thought, a happy thought or a kind thought
your brain releases chemicals that make your body feel good. Whenever you
have happy thoughts, imagine that your brain releases with glad or
smiling faces, making you feel good. Think about the last time you had a
really happy thought (such as when you got a good grade on a test or
played with your pet). What feelings did you have inside your body? When
most kids are happy their muscles relax, their heart beats slower, their
hands become dry and they breathe slower. Your body also reacts to your
good thoughts.
Think about that.

Mad, unkind or sad thoughts
Did you know every time you have a mad thought, an unkind thought, a sad
thought, or cranky thought, your brain releases negative chemicals that
make your body feel bad. Whenever you’re upset, imagine that your brain
releases bubbles with sad or angry faces, looking to cause problems.
Think about the last time you were mad. What feelings did you have inside
your body? When most kids are mad, their muscles get tense, their heart
beats faster, their hands start to sweat and they may even begin to feel
a little dizzy. Your body reacts to every negative thought you have.
Think about that.

Thoughts and plans
God has thoughts and plans for your good, to give you hope for your future.
Jer. 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans
for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. (Jer. 29:11)
If you hold on to your hope and fight for it when the enemy tries to take
it away, you will see amazing things take place in your life.
Think about it.
Always be joyful,
