ADDGirl Strikes Again

So very often with ADD, as I'm sure you know... I think to do something and then so many things between when I thought of it and when I get it done distract me, that it is lucky that I get it done even at all!

here's a silly event that happened last night that made me laugh.. I'm cutting and pasting from my facebook status wall and comments to show...my poor hubby really does have a good sense of humor about it all thank goodness :)

and because some people asked me I thought I'd clarify that N… Continue

Who are you and what have you done with my children!? WOW

So, I mentioned in my last blog post that I'm reading some books on ADHD to refresh my memory, and to apply it to the kids and their hyper ways, scatterbrain issues, and the whole non compliance issues we are having with 2 adhd (plus) kids, and a ADHD mommy who forgets to be consistent in the routine department and consequences to keep them in a routine ( which is how ADHD kids cope best)

Some of the techniques have been things we did before, but me and my ADHD ways, I forget, stop doing them,… Continue

First Impression of the new book "superparenting for ADD"

a cut and paste over from my personal blogspot blog ( mamaril.blogspot.com)

So bear with me.. and this long rambling post, the impressions of the book are down there, but in order to get it, you have to read it all.

So...some people don't get this "personal" on their blogs and I always wonder where the line might be, but I've decided recently that I'm not going to censor myself this way any longer, worried about what others think......and besides there are only about 4 or 5 of you who read th… Continue

At 11:02am on October 14, 2009, Joan Azarva said…: I am the parent of an LD/ADD son, and it seems like yesterday that I was in the trenches. I remember the anxiety in 12th grade, feeling uncertain about whether my son could "do" college (he WANTED to go).

Fortunately, besides being a parent, I've also worked with LD students on the college level since 1993, 13 of those years as a college Learning Specialist. In addition, I have my Master's Degree in Education from the University of PA, one of the finest schools in the country.

As a result, I KNEW how to prepare my son, how to "vet" colleges (you can't believe what they tell you or what you read on their website), how to determine how much support my son would need, how to make the best match, and those decisions and strategies that bode for college success. My son, never a "student", graduated college successfully and obtained a job in his field.

Most students with LD fail on the college level - the statistics are abysmal. The ONLY way we can change this is to prepare them for college's unique challenges - it is VERY different from high school!

If you are the parent of a teen in grades 9 - 12 and would like a free teleseminar, "How College Savvy Are You", register at: http://www.conquercollegewithld.com/coaching.html. This is a coaching course - the first lesson is FREE for everyone, with no payment due, and no obligation to continue.

You can also benefit from my totally free subscription list that sends out high-quality weekly articles pertaining to postsecondary transition -- http://www.conquercollegewithld.com.

I have been passionate about college success for our kids since seeing my own son do it. His victory was not accidental, however; it was the result of difficult and deliberate decisions, all worth it in the end.

If your teen is of normal intelligence, WANTS to go to college, acknowledges his LD, and will accept help, success is PROBABLE..... assuming you have all your "ducks in a row".

If you have any suggestions, please let me know :)

I'm also a member of this community and a French Canadian author who's presently writing a book about the good sides of ADHD. Particularly, I'm searching testimonies of positive people who see it as a gift and no, as a "trouble".

In reading your profile, I thought you could be one of these famous persons and, if you are interested to share your experience with my future readers, to accept and help them to live better with their ADHD, you just have to write me to the following address :

Have a wonderful day and don't forget : "the sun shines for everybody!"
