# 1 New Books / News & Views

"Understanding Your Child's Temperament" William B. Carey, M.D.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0028628268/theaddadhdgaze
Relax, says Dr. William B. Carey of the much-lauded Children's
Hospital of Philadelphia: you may have a little monster on your
hands, but you can still prevent and reduce behavioral problems.
In "Understanding Your Child's Temperament," Carey
distinguishes the nine aspects of temperament and advises on
how to determine your child's behavioral profile--and then tailor
parental discipline to be the most effective.

When Bad Children Happen to Good Parents: A Survival
Manual for Parents of Uncaring Children, offers hope for
parents who have been forced to accept guilt for the
"antisocial" behavior of their children. It is a manual that
challenges not only classical and modern psychology,
but also the sacrosanct popular myth, "there are no bad
children, only bad parents." http://www.drnorm.com/cpc

At website http://www.everything-4-reading.com you will find
books from Dr Rose, who is am an elementary teacher with Ph.D's
in psychology and nutrition. Dr Rose advocates taking "different"
children in the class and plucking them out to save them from the
anger and frustrations of their teachers. Dr Rose doesn't profess
to cure ADD but does manage to help these kids flourish.

NEWSFLASH

It was reported on June 25 by Reuters, that despite the current
backlash about the use of stimulants for ADHD, this and other
stimulants are under, not over-prescribed for children with ADHD.

According to survey, only one in eight kids who show symptoms
are prescribed stimulants, which suggests that there may be a
gross under use. (In Britain a much, MUCH smaller number of
children with ADHD receive stimulants). These findings are
attributed to Dr. Peter S. Jensen of the National Institute of
Mental Health, Bethesda. Along with other colleagues.

It was found that children with ADHD were more likely to
get school-based intervention or mental health counselling
rather than being prescribed medication. Because of these
findings, Dr Jensen concludes that 'under - treatment' with
stimulant medication is occurring not over treatment.

Child Adolescent Psychiatry 1999;38:797-804. The full

#2 Readers' letters

Hello,
I am writing to find out if any other parents of children with
ADD/ADHD have children that have also been diagnosed
with Depression? My son is 8 years old (almost 9 he tells
me) and I have just been told that he is suffering from
depression as well as ADHD. I am just wondering if
anyone else has had to deal with this as well?
trinamanns@...

**************************************************

Dear Gail
Do you have any e-mail references on peer support for
adolescents with aspergers/PDD disorders. My son could
really use a cyber buddy. Thanks. WestHOE@...

**************************************************

Dear Gail,
I'm the mother of a 9 year old ADHD son. We have known
since he was about 4 1/2 that and it's been an awakening to
child rearing. I've recently relocated to another state after
his dad and I separated. The new pediatricians are giving
me great difficulties in renewing his prescriptions thru the
summer months, stating that it's a proven fact that
non-stop use of Ritalin can cause delayed growth and
problems children not eating. Is this true & do you have
any suggestions for a solution? lisabrunson@...

**************************************************

The MIS-Information that you are circulating to innocent
parents on ADHD is appalling. Makes one wonder how
much drug company stock you might own. mariah1@...

**************************************************

Dear Gail
I have to respectfully take issue with your response to the
7 year old who didn't want to go to school. While I agree
with you that is certainly easier to fit in if you are "average"
I do not think that the rest of your response was appropriate.
You said his teacher's might be unfair to him because they
do not understand that kids need to move around a lot.

I know all about that. My son had a teacher like that last
year. And certainly every child with special needs should
be accommodated. But it doesn't sound like that is the
case in this boy's letter. He talks about hitting people,
tripping people, kicking people. He knows he didn't
behave properly. I don't think this sort of behavior
should be excused whether he has ADHD or not. He
should have been punished and I don't think having to
stay in for recess after fighting the two recesses before
was out of line.

I have a very hyper 7 year old and I would not tolerate this
sort of behavior in him. Neither would his school. Yours H

**************************************************

Hello,
I am the parent of a 14 soon to 15 year old boy who was
diagnosed with ADHD about a year ago. All the signs were
there from an early age but since he was bright he was over
looked. When he hit grade 7 his self esteem seemed to drop
drastically and so did his work as well as his behavior. He
always did have some behavior problems such as being
disruptive or too talkative in class but at around the age of 12
he seemed to have even a tougher time fitting in to the
school system. After along and trying grade 8 we decided
to seek professional help. At the end of all the assessments
we now have the diagnoses of ADHD and after the phyco
educational assessment we also learned that he is of above
average intelligence, he even has some areas ranges in the
superior and gifted range but most importantly he does
also have a learning disability as well.

We are now struggling with the behavior, not only do we
have to contend with the teenager but with the teenager
who has ADHD. We are at our wits end with this child we
are at a loss as to what to do with him when he has one of
his major outbursts of anger when he refused something
or he told to stop doing something. He can get extremely
angry and resorts to swearing and throwing things,
banging walls etc. fortunately he has never gotten violent
with us. We feel we are tip toeing around this child afraid
to tell him no or watching what we say, we are or should I
say I am constantly running buffer between him and his
father , his teachers and his siblings and I feel I am
being cheated, I also feel I am being drained both
emotionally and physically. I have run out of ideas
on how to discipline and he has basically let us know
that we cant tell him what to do or who to hang out
with. As far as school goes he has said that he will
handle that and it is none of my business weather he
does his home work or not that it doesn't affect me.
He fails to see that it does very much affect us
because if he does not succeed in school that he will
never become independent in life.

To make a long story short I am looking for some
advice as to how to handle this very intelligent bright
child who believes that he can run his own life. How
do I get through to him....I don't want to loose however
I am not willing to have a teenager run my home and do
as he pleases. He needs to understand that he had to
abide by the rules and short of asking him to leave I
don't know how to make him understand this. I am
desperate at this point as to how to parent a teenager
with ADHD. If any of the readers out there can shed
some light on my problems I'd greatly appreciate it.

#3 Women And ADD

The majority of writing and research on ADD has traditionally
focused on males, who were believed to make up 80% of all
those with ADD. Now more and more females are being
identified, especially now that we are more aware of the
non-hyperactive subtype of ADD. Girls and women with
ADD struggle with a variety of issues that are different from
those faced by males. This article will highlight some of
those differences, and will talk about the types of
struggles faced by females with ADD.

Childhood issues for girls with ADD
Let's read the recollections of two women with ADD in
childhood and adolescence. Marie is an introverted,
"primarily inattentive" ADD female, who has struggled

"The thing I remember the most was always getting my
feelings hurt. I was a lot happier when I played with just
one friend. When someone teased me I never knew how
to defend myself. I really tried in school, but I hated it
when the teacher called on me. Half the time I didn't
even know what the question was. Sometimes I would
get stomach aches and beg my mother to let me stay
home from school." Marie, age 34

These recollections are very different from those of a
typical elementary school aged ADHD boy. She was
hypersensitive to criticism, had difficulty with the rapid
give and take of group interactions, and felt socially
"out of it" except in the company of her one best friend.
Secondly, she was a compliant girl whose greatest desire
was to conform to teacher expectations and not to draw
attention to herself. Her distractibility caused agonizing
feelings for her due to teacher disapproval and
embarrassment in front of her peers.

Lauren's "hyperactive-impulsive" ADD patterns are
more similar to those seen in many ADHD boys. She
also recalls being stubborn, angry, defiant and
rebellious and physically hyperactive. She was also
hypersocial. Although we don't yet have adequate
statistics for patterns in ADD girls, it seems likely
that women like Lauren are in the minority when we
examine ADD patterns.

"I can remember in grade school that everything felt
frantic. I had a fight with my mom almost every morning.
At school I was always jumping around, talking and
passing notes. Some of my teachers liked me, but some
of them - the really strict ones - didn't like me. And I
hated them. I argued a lot and lost my temper. I cried
really easily too, and some of the mean kids in the
class liked to tease me and make me cry. Lauren, 27

Although we see the argumentativeness and
defiance in Lauren which we see more often in ADHD
boys, we also see that, like many ADD girls, she was
hyper-social and hyperemotional. Life for Lauren, as
for some other girls with ADD, was an emotional
roller coaster. She was very disorganized, and had
very low tolerance for stress.

ADD Adolescent Girls

Let's take a look at the recollections of Marie and Lauren
during their adolescence. Life, for each of them, seemed
to become even more difficult. Adolescence is difficult
in general. When ADD is added to the mix, problems
are amplified and stresses are intense.

"High school just overwhelmed me. None of my teachers
knew me because I never spoke up in class. Exams
terrified me. I hated to study and write papers. They
were really hard for me and I put them off to the last
minute. I didn't date at all in high school. People didn't
dislike me, but I bet if I went back to a class reunion
that no-one would remember who I was. I was pretty
emotional, and it got ten times worse just before my
period." Mariel, 34

"I was totally out of control in high school. I was smart,
but a terrible student. I guess I worked on being a
"party animal" to make up for all the things I wasn't
good at. At home I was angry, totally rebellious. I
snuck out of the house after my parents went to sleep
at night. I lied all the time. My parents tried to control
me or punish me, but nothing worked. I couldn't sleep
at night, and was exhausted all day in school. Things
were bad most of the time, but when I had PMS I
really lost it. School meant nothing to me. Lauren, 27.

Marie and Lauren present very different pictures
during their teenage years. Marie was shy,
withdrawn, a daydreamer who was disorganized
and felt overwhelmed. Lauren was hyperactive,
hyperemotional, and lived her life in a high
stimulation, high risk mode. What do they show
in common?

Severe premenstrual syndrome

In teenage years, the neurochemical problems
caused by ADD are greatly compounded by
hormonal fluctuations. These combined
dysregulated systems result in tremendous
mood swings, hyper-irritability, and emotional
overreaction.

Peer problems

Girls with ADD seem to suffer more as a result of peer
problems than do boys with ADD. Although Lauren
had many friends her emotionality got in the way
repeatedly. Marie, by contrast, felt overwhelmed,
withdrew, and felt most comfortable in the company
of one close friend. Both, however, had a strong
sense of "being different" from their peers.
Adolescent boys who are impulsive and hyperactive
may be viewed as simply "sowing their oats." They
may even gain much peer approval as they rebel
against authority, or as a result of their hard drinking,
fast driving, sexually active lifestyle. Girls tend to
receive much more negative feedback from parents,
teachers, and peers. Later, as young women, they
often join the chorus of accusation and outrage,
blaming themselves and feeling a strong sense of
shame for their earlier behavior.

Ways to Help Girls with ADD

Learning to establish a “quiet zone” in their life

Whether shy and withdrawn, or hyper and impulsive,
these girls often feel emotionally overwhelmed. They
need to learn stress management techniques from an
early age, and to understand that they need emotional
“time out” to regroup after an upset.

Try to minimize corrections and criticism

Too often parents, with the best of intentions, shower
ADD girls with corrections and criticisms. “Don’t let
them hurt your feelings like that.’” ‘You’d forget your
head if it wasn't attached to your shoulders.” “How
do you expect to go to college with grades like that?”
These girls, whether loud and rebellious, or shy and
retiring, typically suffer from low self-esteem. Home is
an important place to refuel, and to rebuild the
confidence that is so frequently eroded during the
day at school.

Help them look for ways to excel

Girls with ADD typically feel that they are “not good
at anything.” Their distractibility, impulsivity and
disorganization often results in mediocre grades.
Likewise, they often don’t have the stick-to-itiveness
to develop skills and talents like many of their friends.
Helping them to find a skill or ability, and then
praising them and recognizing them for it are terrific
positive boosts. Often the life of an adolescent girl
with ADD reaches a positive turning-point when
she is lucky enough to find an activity to feel
good about.

Special issues faced by women with ADD

The same themes, related to social and
physiological differences between males and
females with ADD, play themselves out again
as adolescent girls become women with jobs,
marriages and families.

Social expectations

Being the support system

For a woman with ADD her most painful challenge
may be a struggle with her own overwhelming
sense of inadequacy in fulfilling the roles she
feels are expected of her by her family and by
society. Both on the job and at home, women
are often placed in the role of caretakers. While
men with ADD are advised to build a support
system around themselves, not only do few
women have access to such a support system,
society had traditionally expected women to be
the support system.

Dual-career stresses

The struggles for women with ADD have been
intensified with the emergence of “dual career
couples.” During much of the past two decades
more and more women have been required to not
only fulfil most if not all of the more traditional
roles of wife and mother, but also to function
efficiently and tirelessly as they juggle the
demands of a full time career.

Single parenting

Divorce rates are close to fifty percent among all
marriages in the United States. Divorce become
even more likely when ADD is added to the list of
marital stressors. Following divorce, it continues
to be predominantly the mothers who are left as
primary parent for children. By adding ADD to the
huge burden of single- parenting, the result is
often chronic exhaustion and emotional depletion.

Physiological differences - Hormonal fluctuations

The hormonal fluctuations which commence at
puberty continue to play a strong role the lives
of women with ADD. The problems they experience
due to ADD are greatly exacerbated by their
monthly hormonal fluctuations. Some women report
that the stresses of being the primary parent of
children with ADD while attempting to struggle
with their own ADD reaches crisis proportions on
a monthly basis as they go through their
premenstrual phase, often lasting as long as a week.

Although the number of older women yet
identified with ADD is small, it seems quite
reasonable to assume that the hormonal
changes associated with menopause would be
expected to, once again, exacerbate ADD
symptoms of emotional reactivity.

What can Women with ADD do to Manage their
Lives Better?

Give yourself a break!
Often the biggest struggle is an internal one.
Societal expectations have been deeply ingrained
in many women. Even if a loving husband said
“Don’t worry about it,” they would place demands
upon themselves. Breaking out of a mold that
doesn't fit can take time and effort. Psychotherapy
with a therapist who really understands your ADD
issues may be enormously helpful to shed your
impossible expectations of yourself.

Educate your husband about ADD and how it
affects you.

Your husband may feel anger and resentment
toward an ill-kept house or badly-behaved
children, assuming that you “just don’t care.”
He needs to appreciate the full brunt of ADD’s
impact upon you. Get him on your side,
strategizing about ways to make your life at
home more ADD-accommodating & ADD-friendly.

It’s only spilled milk!

Try to create an “ADD-Friendly” environment in
your home. If you can approach your ADD, and that
of your children, with acceptance and good humor
explosions will decrease, and you’ll save more
energy for the positive side of things.

Simplify your life.

You are probably overbooked and chances are your
children are too. Look for ways to reduce commitments
so that you’re not always pressed and hurried.

Don’t hang around women who can’t understand your
problems.

So many women describe friends or neighbors who make
them feel terrible by comparison whose houses are
immaculate, whose children are always clean, neat and
well-behaved. Don’t put yourself in situations which
will send you back toward impossible expectations and
negative comparisons.

Build a support group for yourself.

One woman with ADD related that housework was such
drudgery for her that she often couldn't bring herself to
do it. One of her techniques, however, was to invite a
friend, who shared similar tendencies, to keep her
company while she completed some particularly odious task.

Build in "time-outs" daily.

Time-out’s are essential when you have ADD and are
raising children. It’s easy to not find time for them,
though, because they require planning. Make them
routine so that you don’t have to keep planning and
juggling. For example, ask your husband to commit to
two blocks of time on the weekend when he will take
the kids away from the house without you. Arrange for
a regular baby-sitter several times a week.

Don’t place yourself in burnout.

One mother of two ADD children, who was doing a
great job of parenting her children, was also able to
recognize her limitations. With two such
challenging children she arranged for summer
sleep away camp for a month each summer. She
also arranged for brief visits, one at a time, to
grandparents. This allowed her to spend time with
each son without his having to compete with his brother.

Eliminate and delegate.

Look at things that you require of yourself at home. Can
some of these things be eliminated? Can you find a way
to afford to hire to have some of them done?

Learn child behavior management techniques.

On the outside looking in it may be easy for other
parents to judge you if your children misbehave. What
any parent of an ADD child knows is that they don’t
respond to the usual admonishments and limits. There
are numerous excellent books on behavior management
techniques for children with ADD.

Get help for PMS or Menopausal Symptoms

They are likely to be more severe than in other women.
Managing the destabilizing effect

of your hormonal fluctuations is a critical part of
managing your ADD.

Focus more on the things you love.

There are many aspects of keeping a house and
raising children which are rewarding and creative. Look
for positive experiences to share with your children.

Women with ADD who feel they are “driven crazy” by
the frequent interruptions of their children, who need to
take time alone to ease frayed nerves, who fear being
labelled as “poor housewives” and “bad mothers” need
to understand and accept themselves and their ADD.
They also need to be understood and accepted by their
husbands, their families and friends. These are women
with ADD struggling valiantly against demands which
are difficult if not impossible to meet. They need to learn
not to measure their success in terms of made beds and
washed dishes, but to celebrate their gifts - their warmth,
their creativity, their humor, their sensitivity, their spirit.
And they need to look for people who can appreciate the
best in them as well.
