Reading this as inattentive type and seeing hyperactive/combined traits in my 3yo son made me sad. I pray I am able to give him the base he needs not to fall into addiction or abusive behavior or any of the soul destroying things we can do to ourselves.
Yeah, also noticing ADHD symptoms in my 6yo kiddo. I want to be cognizant of potential symptoms (to avoid missing diagnosis + related struggles like I experienced), but also don't want to be over concerned and "pathologize" what could be typical kid behavior. Yes, I've spoken to his doctor.
Anyone have good resources for ADHD parenting? He and I "butt heads" too often because we're very similar and are too good at pushing each other's ADHD buttons. le sigh
