ADHD and other Children's Learning and Behavior Difficulties
It is time for parents, teachers
and any others charged with the responsibility of raising the next
generation look to solutions other than drugs for children's
behavior problems. The medications used on children such as
Ritalin, Concerta, Intuniv, Seroquel and others have extreme side
effects and have even been shown to interfere with proper growth and
to create serious physical problems.
More and more doctors and
laypeople are finding things such as the amount of exercise a child
gets, how much time they spend in front of the computer or TV,
allergies and diet have a huge effect on the behavior of a child.
Even such a simple thing as a child being the youngest in their
class have been found to effect how well self-controlled they are
and how they get along with others.
Getting a child on a regular
schedule, making sure their classes are not too fast or too slow for
them, getting them out in the fresh air, playing games with living
people (not on the computer), sufficient rest and nutrition and
getting the child a full physical examination including checking for
allergies are all things that can be done without risking the huge
side effects of prescription drugs.
Here are some valuable resources
to take a look at before putting a child on medication. If you
child or a child you know is already on psychiatric medication you
should see a doctor who is qualified to help them taper off the
drug. As dangerous as it is to be on psychiatric drugs it is
possibly even more dangerous to come off them without medical
guidance and help.
