Her teacher sent me this photo with the words: "Concerning. I believe you should medicate her." My response? I'm proud of her. I said "She looks pretty focused to me." But I wasn't always proud. For a long time, I was the one saying it. Sit still. Hurry up. Focus. Why do you have to make everything so hard? And then I'd lie awake at night feeling like the worst mom in the world. And if I'm being honest. Her grades weren't great. She did struggle. I knew something had to change. But I wasn't going to trade my full-of-life daughter for a doped-up zombie. Just so she could fit into a system that wasn't built for the way her brain works. I thought to myself. Why can't I just let her be herself? Why does everything have to be a correction? Because this is what ADHD actually looks like. Not sitting still. Not learning the "right" way. Sometimes it looks like being upside down on the floor. And STILL doing your worksheets. So I tried something completely different. Something natural. Something that actually supports how her brain works. Instead of forcing it to comply. Within a few weeks, her grades started improving. And she was still the funny, wild, loud, sweet little girl I know so well. Then one afternoon her teacher stopped me at pick-up. "She's still crazy. But her grades are much better." She squeezed my arm. Gave me a thin little smile. "I'm so glad you decided to medicate her." I just smiled and drove away. She has no idea. The solution wasn't meds. It would never be meds. My child is NOT broken. She's different. And different kids need different answers. If you're raising a child like mine. Wild, creative, loud, brilliant, exhausting, and completely irreplaceable. I'll leave a link to the thing that worked for us. They have a free quiz to find out what's actually going on in your child's brain. 👉 https://quiz.trysaphire.com/og-quiz-it-1 [Edit: Sending momma hugs to all the exhausted parents out there 💗 Exhausted from the pressure to medicate their child and risk loosing their sweet baby. Just to make it more convenient for their teachers 🤬 There's another way. This is just what worked for us.]
