Effective Natural Remedies for ADHD Children

ADHD or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is diagnosed commonly in the United States. Various natural remedies for ADHD Children are available along with more traditional prescription drug treatments. It is thought that anywhere from 3 to 5 percent of school age children worldwide exhibit symptoms of ADHD. There is no one cause of ADHD, but it is thought that genetics, diet, environment and various medical conditions can contribute to the condition. Symptoms include inattention, hyperactivity, trouble listening or focusing on tasks, forgetfulness and aggressive behavior. Boys are about three times more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than girls. A decrease in symptoms can occur with drugs, natural remedies or a combination of approaches. Traditional prescription medications have been successful in alleviating symptoms at least over the short term but many parents are concerned with the numerous and serious side effects these drugs can sometimes cause. Drugs are often prescribed with the intent to discontinue treatment as ADHD symptoms abate in early adulthood. Recent studies have found, however, that more and more adults in their 20's and 30's are taking ADHD drugs that were initially prescribed in childhood. As yet, the long-term effects of these drugs are just not fully known.

Some people who have tried various natural remedies for ADHD have reported a decrease in symptoms. Each child, (or adult with ADHD), is unique and there is probably a treatment, program or medication, or combination that will work best.

Natural remedies for ADHD children take more time to work but can work well with less side-effects over time.

More Adults Taking Hyperactivity Drugs First Prescribed in Childhood 

A recent article in Britain's online Telegraph reports that a record number of adults are taking prescription medications designed to treat hyperactivity in children. In Britain, total prescriptions for ADHD treatments have tripled in eight years, to more than 600,000. One-third of those prescriptions are being given to adults. Many of these adults have been taking these prescription drugs for years, even decades.

The US Food and Drink Administration is reviewing the safety of ADHD drugs after the deaths of 18 patients who were prescribed Ritalin, and seven taking Strattera. Janice Hill, founder of the Overload Network, a charity which advises against the use of drugs for behavior problems, was quoted in an interview saying: "It is a timebomb. We simply don't know what the long-term risks of these drugs are."

Studies Find That Time Spend in Natural Environments Helps ADHD Symptoms 

A couple of recent studies have found that kids with ADHD have fewer symptoms after spending some time outdoors - especially in a natural environment such as a park. Children with ADHD were given 20 minute walks in three different settings, along a city street, a suburb and a park with plenty of trees and grass. It was found that the children exhibited the fewest ADHD symptoms after the walk in the park!

Researchers have been conducting studies on how nature affects people for decades and are finding that time spend outdoors in a natural setting can have positive effects on practically everyone.

An Airline Pilot with ADD Has Novel Approach to ADD/ADHD 

Ron Rougeaux, a retired airline pilot with ADD and father of two ADHD children has taken a novel approach to ADD/ADHD. He claims that people with these disorders can, through education and training, learn to deal with symptoms and even use the disorder to advantage. Ron says; "People with ADD/ADHD have always been among the top leaders in business, science and industry through out history." A shocking claim indeed, but Ron has done extensive reasearch into ADD/ADHD and seems to have found a course of action that has turned his personal life and the lives of his children around.

Ron and his children all had difficulty in school, as ADD/ADHD can have a strong genetic component and symptoms are often inherited. Although the family has struggled with their disability, through understanding the disorder, they all have managed to be successful. His son is currently a tennis coach and successful business man and his daughter is finishing up her senior year in Bio-Medical and Mechanical engineering at a major university on the Dean's List.

Ron says that certain occupations are better for people with ADHD. Such occupations are dynamic and change enough to keep the ADHD type interested. Ron says ADHD types should not watch a lot of TV or play many video games. He also says regular exercise is even more important for people with ADHD.

Ron has developed an ebook/training course, Take Control of Your ADHD, that is very imformative and answers many questions parents of ADD/ADHD children may have including behavioral training tips, information on the Feingold diet for ADHD, Individualized Education Plans and much more additional information.

What's It Like to Have ADHD? 

ADHD

So what's it really like to have ADHD? What is ADHD? And does it really exist? A lot of people assume I'm anti-drug therapy. This is not true. What I'm against is hasty prescriptions without trying other alternatives. I believe drug therapy should come later in the list of options. But everyone is different and the simple fact of the matter is, prescription drugs do work for many people. Just make sure you're making an informed decision when you turn to meds.
