Mental health so impacts our lives.  Children with ADHD can suffer daily at the hands of professionals in their schools who just dont understand what motivates them and affects their behaviors.  It can be such a negative cycle that does not promote the health of the child.  And does not allow for him or her to learn and be successful...hence, a low self-esteem.  How can we parents battle this???  do we respond to everything that happens that we think negatively impacts our children??
