Introduction
Many parents and professionals have raised questions about the safety of drugs used to treat ADHD. Studies show drugs can stunt growth, only work in the short term, increase pulse rate, and cause suspicious DNA changes that may be linked to Cancer. It is scary to face the options of the various drugs available. However, with perseverence, personal research and consitency, you may be able to help your ADHD child without the use of heavy medications.

A lot of children with ADHD are full of energy and need an outlet, a place to burn some of that up so they don't get in trouble trying to entertain themselves doing something they shouldn't.

Step Three
Find a supplement regimen that works for your family.
One that I have personally seen the benefits of is by Native Remedies.
Ethan takes a chewable pill called BrightSpark three times a day. He also takes drops of a liquid called Focus 3-4 times a day in his juice. His behavior has changed/improved dramatically once he was taking these on a regular basis.

Step Six
Have open communication about your child's condition with anyone else who is working with him such as teachers, coaches, and doctors. If there is any change in his schedule, let the teacher know so she can prepare for any acting out behavior.
7
Step Seven
Keep an ongoing conversation with your child so they always know what is going on and what to expect. They are much more likely to cooperate when they have a few warnings about what is going to happen next. Whether it's leaving the park, or warning them they only have 5 more minutes of game or TV time ... and then remind them every minute or so by the time the 5 minutes are up, they are ready for it.
8
Step Eight
A Healthy diet is also SO important. Avoid excess sugar and dye's. You may also want to have your child tested for yeast/candida. Some children with behavior problems also have a lot of yeast in their bodies that affect the way they feel and act.
Let you child develop a taste for healthy fruits and vegetables.
Ethan was a sugar fiend, but now that he is on his supplements and no dye's and limited sugar, he doesn't even ask for candy. When he gets a mini candy bar, he eats half of it and then doesn't even want any more.
Most importantly, eliminate anything with the dye's, check the labels on fruit snacks, licorice, any treat that is colored. Give your child all-natural fruit snacks like fruit leathers for a sweet treat.
make sure they get enough protein.

Step Nine
Establish a consistent bed-time routine:
Bath
PJ's
Half cup of sugar free hot chocolate (you can add a couple drops of melatonin to help with sleeping if you child is restless through the night)
Story time (1-2 books)
If needed, do some relaxation, teaching your child deep breathing while you rub their back. You can play soft relaxing music in the background too.
