 Today, my husband and I took our girls to the MTSU Saddle up event.  Callie had so much fun getting to do all the hands on activities that they had. I hated that there wasn't anything for older kids to do. Poor Alissa was so bored:( I did get to see first hand how much Callie really can't sit still. I got to see how severe her ADHD really is. It goes beyond her being 4 years old. It goes beyond her being a kid. She couldn't wait in line even though others could. She couldn't sit still to get her face painted even though younger kids could. Her attention span is so short that she couldn't focus on one activity because something else would catch her eye. I really don't know what to do about it either. My husband has severe ADD and needs to be medicated, so I know it's in her blood. But,she is only a little girl. A very energized four year old little girl that already has so much going on in her life. Do I really want to push meds on her? She already eats a pretty healthy diet. She already doesn't eat things with red dyes, so I really don't know what else I can do "naturally" to help her. I guess I need to schedule an appointment with her pediatrician to discuss option with them, Thank god I am homeschooling her because I know she would not be able to learn a thing in the school system.
