My ADD-diagnosed 11 year old daughter will be started on adderol(sp?) after a couple of weeks of doing a checklist at school while "unmedicated" to see if there is an improvement. I have made an appt. with the psychologist that did her testing for family counseling, as we all need to learn how to deal with her situation. My 14 year old son has difficulty getting along with her, and my husband and I are frustrated in trying to help her with her problems. I was wondering if any of you out there have had any success with family counseling and/or behavior modification techniques? Any advice or ideas about things we could do as a family, or any particular strategies for behavior modification? Also, can anyone recommend a good book co-authored by a teenager for teenagers with add? Thank you and God Bless you! (even if you don't have any ideas!)
