ABSTRACT
As all kids grow and develop, they are works in progress, but children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) need even more guidance and support than their peers without ADHD. If our child has ADHD, she is less emotionally mature than peers and has more challenges to overcome with regard to inattentiveness, disorganization, impulsiveness, and emotional inconsistency. The passage of time will reveal the reward of our investments and perseverance in helping our child. Children with ADHD can be smart in many ways, but standardized tests do not always fully capture their intelligence. Our children are outside-of-the-box thinkers, movers, and learners, who have gifts that emerge in myriad ways.
