#ADHDAwarenessMonth To all who have #ADHD: You have an awesome brain, but it’s not the pay attention kind. It’s the notice everything kind. When we don’t pay attention, we tend to get in trouble.

If you aren't treating your child's #ADHD because school is out consider monitoring how much correction you're giving and how much frustration you're experiencing. Now multiply that by 100....that's about what your child is likely feeling.
