If you've got kids, you know that you as they grow older, there will be things that you need to explain to them that will most likely leave them bewildered, somewhat confused, and leave you slightly uncomfortable.
It's the same with disorders like attention deficit disorder.
However, if you think that your child may have this, you need to first sit them down and talk to them before doing anything else.
The reason for this of course is quite simple: you want to make sure that they understand what is going on and you want to also make sure that they feel empowered to do what they can to be the disorder.
If you just do things without their knowledge or without explaining it to them, then they may very will resent you for it later.
That said, you may be wondering exactly how to talk to your children about this type of disorder.
Of course, this will depend on how old child is, but, the best thing to do is to talk to them on their level.
Use terms that they can understand and don't get to in depth.
Of course, as you explain things, if you have questions, you should always consult your doctor.
One thing to consider is that while you could leave everything up to the doctor, often times children will feel more comfortable if explanations about things, especially attention deficit disorder, come from someone they know, love and trust.
The overriding principle here is to keep it simple enough so that they don't get bored, but also be thorough enough so that they understand exactly what's going on and what the next steps are.
Ultimately, every parent will have a different way and method for talking to the children.
Above all, make sure that they understand that the reason you are taking the time to explain these things is that you love them and you want to help them.
