And, of course, medication is only part of the answer - strategies on dealing with ADHD on both a personal and academic level are as important or more so then the meds.
This is a wonderful site! This link to behavior at school, but you can search for almost anything you want to improve. The link is: http://www.additudemag.com/resource-center/adhd-school-behavior.html
I have lots and lots of their specific links bookmarked because they are so good.
Whether its stimulant meds or natural meds, they are only a partial answer. Teaching your child coping strategies for ADHD is also extremely important. And as I have said numerous times over the last 5 years, no one has ever posted about a natural medication that has worked, but outside of the expense it usually never hurts to try. However, there are things to avoid. Check out these links -http://www.medhelp.org/add-adhd?
Oh boy, as I said, there is a ton of stuff out there which I have bookmarked. So any specific areas you are interested in ...will be easier for me to send you.
Just quickly, since we mentioned adult adhd/add - here are two interesting links on that. They also contain just a lot of good general overall information.

I have a 5year old son that has many behavioral problems, ADHD, OCD,ASD. he always smelled everything but now its becoming very inappropriate. teacher has emailed me to tell me that he likes to smell peoples behinds(butt).
My son (8) has been diagnosed with ADHD when he was 6. Hadn't use any medication till a week ago. We are trying Straterra and I'm hoping it will help in class with his focus/attention. He is significantly behind and am concerned with him repeating 3rd grade. I know it will crush his self-esteem. Which is why we are trying medication as advised by his doctor. I know he has something else in addition to the ADHD, some kind of learning disability.
As Rockrose mentioned - teaching your son coping strategies is very important. But, many kids due to the frustration of ADHD learn the wrong kind of coping strategies - self medication, etc. So make sure that he is learning how to cope with his problems - both scholastically and emotionally.
A few suggestions. Your son's present teacher does sound like she knows what she is doing.
To punish him for it was insult on top of injury---- so I took the approach of teaching him. Teaching him personal space boundaries with other kids and safe and appropriate ways to get input into the nervous system was my goal. I've not had a complaint at school yet in two years (he is now 6.5 and in first grade/diagnosed at age 4).
I'd work with choices for him in the daycare or school setting. He may need that little bit of control to comply.

Main reason to check out the site is not because I can give you further help (I would try to do that anyway). Its just nice to know what might be causing you the problems you are having. If you know the cause, its easier to find solutions.
Hi there. Well, what you describe almost sounds more like anxiety than it does adhd symptoms. My older son has sensory which is very similar to to adhd, it's neurological in nature as adhd is, and he also has anxiety. The self soothing is something he had to work on. Are you talking about when he is upset, calming himself back down? With my son, we worked with an occupational therapist for strategies for this.
Children with ADHD have a legitimate neurological condition that impairs planning, organization, impulse control, focus, and attention. ADHD cannot be cured, but it can be managed with teaching strategies, accommodations, practicing difficult skills, and, sometimes, medication.
Hello. I am a 24-year-old female, and I work at an animal hospital in Ohio. After a lot of struggle creating meaningful routings in my life, holding a steady job and with basic daily tasks and activities, I decided to get help for my symptoms. After talking with councelors and a doctor, it was concluded that I was struggling with ADHD, which I didn't consider, but it makes sense in regard to my symptoms.
the link talks about treatment strategies that can help. And ya, the ADHD will really magnify the OCD because you will hyper focus.
hi there i have had adhd for quite a while now and just thought i would ask how can i keep calm and not get stressed because i very easerly get worked up and i would love to no how i can keep my self calm with out losing my temper or getting stressed any ideas please get back to me
Have you tried teaching her coping mechanisms or alternative behaviors? For example, when she loses a game, you could role play what she CAN do or what she can't do. When she is upset, give her self soothing or calming strategies. (this includes deep breaths, counting to 10, opening and closing her fists, giving herself a hug, going to a cool down spot that no one an bother her in). Is she a picky eater? Have you ever looked into sensory integration disorder?
t discussed, you might want to think about starting a user group to discuss strategies for Adult ADD/ADHD. These groups are moderated by the person who starts the group, and can be made public, private, or invitation-only.
While it is aimed at people with ADHD, I can tell you as a long time teacher that the strategies are excellent and can help anybody. I would have killed to have known this info when I went through college. I also want to highlight the part on exercise. Any kind of a brisk workout in the afternoon or early evening usually pays great dividends. The link is -

Parenting with consistent discipline and support can help prevent over-diagnosis of ADHD in children. Sometimes, people think their child is ADHD when the child is still very young, under 5, and shows some symptoms. The problem with that is young children are still developing at very different rates and maturity levels vary greatly.
Actually there are a number of laws that prevent discrimination these days.
The fact that you know you have ADHD is really important. Hopefully, you have gotten guidance on dealing with this medical problem. There are a lot of very successful people with ADHD, so it can be done. You might enjoy reading a book by a UC Berkley honors student with severe ADHD about growing up with ADHD.
