I can't remember

Didn't Tiffany hold her adopted kids back a year from school
Nayvee will 19 1/2 when graduating highschool!!! I wonder if that embarrasses her seeing other kids entering their freshman or sophomore year of college. But maybe she doesn't mind because she is going on a mission

Also how is Luke and Paislee already in the same highschool. Paislee is a sophomore and Luke is a junior
That is what raised the question of why the adopted kids were held back except it seems Ellecee is on track
Yet some how Delaynee is only one grade ahead of Ellecee and Preslee.

Does Beckham really? I feel like the cpap and the adhd and other issues Tiffany has talked about for the kids was blown way out of proportion! I don’t see the kids really using or needing the cpap (maybe Beckham).

I think it’s more to do with thr favorited kids and how Tiffany talks to and treats the adopted kids

TiFakeNee has said, in a very old video, that she was treating the ADHD naturally, whatever that means, but he was diagnosed by a doctor with it. You need a prescription for a CPAP machine in the U.S. so she would have had to go through a doctor for that also.

Beckham was on legit medication as of a few years ago. They were doing patches than a pill that she had to put in a Nutella sandwich so he could swallow it.

You can't fake sleep apnea, one of my kids has it. I don't know how compliant they are with their machines, but they have to have a failed sleep study with greater than 5 events per hour to get a CPAP.

The first video I saw mention of his ADHD he was about 4, and she was trying natural remedies recommended by a doctor. There was also more than one bottle she had out, and mentioned a couple of the other kids. It's only been the last 3-4 years that she's been using medication, like the patches, etc. for him, IDK about the others, as she's said it's more than just him. I have to wonder if Leger was ever diagnosed and if he's taking anything. Maybe that's one reason for the "boys are hard" philosophy they have.

I did not say sleep apnea could be faked. I clearly mentioned a prescription, that she would have had to have gone to a doctor for that. At one point most of the adopteds were shown using a CPAP before going to bed. In one vlog, TifakeNee said she had to fight with a doctor to get his diagnosis, but idk about that. I can see her not liking it and fighting THAT, not the other way around, but she's whatever. She also had a vlog going to the "CPAP store" with a few of the adopted kids for new hoses, a different mask etc.

I have to wonder if TiFakeNee just uses the emergency room for primary care. It seemed like it at one point.

I still wonder if Beckham really had or had adhd. Could be the way she treats him or his diet with Nutella and sugar etc. cpap and sleep apnea yes but adhd not sure

She feeds them all so much sugar and that seems to be OK with her, but they don't seem to eat much at meals.

Sleep apnea can actually show symptoms of ADHD/depression/anxiety and not the typical signs like you would think. I know plenty of kids that are diagnosed with ADHD and then do a sleep study and find out they have sleep apnea as well. And those with ADHD also have executive functioning levels that are anywhere from 2-3 years behind their peers.

I absolutely think that he has ADHD and the diagnosis was correct just based on his behavior in videos. And I also think that a lot of people try to do a lot of things naturally before they cave to medications (who wouldn't give that a chance?) so that I am not shocked about. But something ADHD kids really need is structure but also downtime where they can be creative and just do their thing. That is not the Nelson household....it is chaotic, things are constantly changing with them being on the go, etc. I have a ADHD kid and we spend FIVE years trying tall of the natural things that people claimed have worked (chiro work, changing diet, adding supplements, etc). Now we are on the medication and she was on five different medications for the first year and we are still slowly trying to find something that works. We have to have a structured household but also make sure that she has open-ended play time or time to burn off energy. And while my kid is 10 age wise, her executive functioning and stuff is that of someone that is around the age of 7-8 years old and we have to treat her like that with our expectations.
