Anybody Have Any Experience With Attention Issues?
I wonder if anyone has any experience with kids with attention issues.
My second daughter Alanna is doing poorly in school & we are trying to
find some answers.
Anybody have this issue that they have dealt with?

Yes
Me
Seriously
Actually, I was a prime candidate for drugs growing up, but never took them. At some point during my late teen years (18 or 19) I got to a point where my maturity overrode my desire to run the isles of the grocery store.

She doesn't have it severely & I hate like the dickens to get prescription drugs to medicate her.
We are trying to motivate her by linking her Computer, Nintendo, & Video game privileges to her completion of schoolwork.
I won a guy to the Lord 23 years ago who was diagnosed with this as a child.
He was given Ritalin which he did not tolerate well.
He finished school & is a successful Minister & business owner.
He wishes he didn't take the drugs.

School problems aren't always caused by attention deficits.

No, but she has been diagnosed with a very mild case of it.

Oh, okay. She is diagnosed. And they didn't give recommendations for her? I would use medication as a last resort BTW.

Brother Ron... do some research into food coloring and their affect on children.
Food colorings found in all the brightly colored cereals etc have been found to cause attention deficit issues in children.
There have been children with severe attention deficit issues who saw drastic improvements by removing food colorings & artificial sweeteners etc from their diet.
I am pretty sure that the documentary called Sweet Poison deals with this but I am not positive. It would be worth the view.

I was thinking the same thing - I have seen kids be put on meds and only because they are very smart and they are really bored in the class - she may be gifted.
