ADHD

[amIblue?]

Are any of you parents of a child with ADHD or do you have ADHD? We think that this may be a strong possibility for our daughter (she appears to have more issues with attention than hyperactivity), and I'm kind of at a loss of where to start insofar as how do I talk to her about it and what kinds of things that I can do to help her manage it and to help her learn to manage it. (She's 6, so she still does need guidance.) We have done initial screenings and have set up an appointment with her pediatrician for a consultation.


I'm hoping to just get some ideas to find places with rational resources to do further research to come up with a plan of action. When you google, you find all kinds of crazy things. If you wouldn't mind PM'ing me with some websites or books that aren't nutty (I mean either too granola or too mad scientist) or sharing your experiences, I would greatly appreciate it. I have a trip planned to the library this weekend, but I was hoping to have a list of books that I could take with me.

Thanks and love to you all.
