Parents of children with ADHD have told me that they often feel lonely and overwhelmed in managing their children's symptoms. We often talk about what is best for our children with this conundrum of a disorder. We should think of our own well-being as parents, as well. Make sure that you reach out to whomever is necessary to help you with your children's issues, which includes your children's teachers, administrators, school psychologists, as well as wonderful organizations such as Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD).
It is difficult enough to deal with our children with ADHD and and their academic and social difficulties, but to maneuver "the system" without help in terms of not only accommodations but support for our own struggles may be a losing battle.
