Michael Phelps and ADHD no comments
Just read this article “Whirlwind week for Michael Phelps’ mom” and was surprised that Michael was diagnosed ADHD as a child. I have a very hyperactive nephew. We haven’t brought him yet for diagnosis and we’re all scared about it. But after reading this article and realizing that ADHD isn’t as serious with the proper guidance (he won 8 gold medals for crissake!).
My nephew is a sweet boy. He just couldn’t control his impulses most of the time. I’m not sure if he’s ADHD but we’re considering it. We love him a lot. Most of the time we try to understand. “Hey he’s just a kid, he’ll grow over it.” But sometimes it just gets too much. We don’t spank him. We just try to stay quiet and talk to him in a low voice so he wouldn’t be agitated so much. Sometimes it works. The words come through and he listens. But not every time.
