It's great to be 68 and have more energy than three of my friends. :-) I'm very creative...pottery, author, seamstress, artist...And I did learn how to rein in my mind and it does take a little effort. But I found when I was creating, I could focus...or reading. So give her creative way to express all that energy. <br />Oh, and my granddaughter also had it. And she's channeled her energy into horses...riding for her Junior Medal this year.

She declared God allowed her to have dyslexia so she could overcome it and learn to help others with it. She's 10. I'm so proud of how hard she's working to understand her LD and overcome it. God builds His army with imperfect people He makes perfect through Him. <br />2 Corinthians 12:9Michele K.

He wants to be a research scientist and has the grades to make it. ADHD can be controlled and even overcome.stitchesthrutimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13592361290873081613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474271316278058173.post-81298541821218689902013-10-21T10:24:41.922-04:002013-10-21T10:24:41.922-04:00Josie, I agree!

Next summer, she'll have her drivers license and with that new-found freedom I probably won't see her much :-( So these past few months when she asked me to do something, anything, I agreed ~ I don't know how much time I have left with her to teach her and spend precious moments with her, so I am taking every chance I get these days. I didn't get ANY writing done over the summer, but that's okay! We bonded pretty tight those two months ~ I wouldn't give that up for anything :-)Heidi Mainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383398244521741597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474271316278058173.post-33272945059521093502013-10-21T09:25:56.456-04:002013-10-21T09:25:56.456-04:00Hey ladies thanks for the encouragement.

I like to look it up and see if it might be a good fit.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14854069146203177768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474271316278058173.post-6582230568828278782013-10-21T09:15:11.360-04:002013-10-21T09:15:11.360-04:00Josie, do not despair.

By the time he got home it was out of his system until the next morning in time to work during school. He was on the med for about three years and as he entered 6th grade he declared that he wanted to try things without medication. He was determined that he could do it and he did! He is now grown, college educated, married, and has always held a job. Don't dwell on the horror stories that you hear just know that there is help for your child and be glad.Melanie Backushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09727406782355039525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474271316278058173.post-41055037236527746532013-10-21T07:11:00.407-04:002013-10-21T07:11:00.407-04:00Josie....I feel for you and what you are dealing w...Josie....I feel for you and what you are dealing with. As parents we aren't given promises things will be all right with our children, but knowing the One who does, helps us through these times. You sound like you're takng some good and productive steps, and your dauther sounds like a ball of energy. I trust the Lord to guide you through this time, and allow your writing to come as He wills.
