Eating disorders disproportionately impact teens with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) 12 – and we don’t fully understand why. A growing body of research links ADHD to a higher incidence of anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder during puberty and adolescence – a time when a mix of factors, including social media use, can contribute to negative body image and low-self-esteem.

Q: “My teen daughter recently told me that she ‘feels fat’ and is unhappy with her body. How do I respond in a way that won’t make her even more body conscious?”Your child feels negatively about her body for the same reason so many teens do: She has no doubt picked up on the fact that our culture sadly values smaller and thinner bodies, and she is comparing herself to others.

“Forgiveness is not always easy. At times, it feels more painful than the wound we suffered, to forgive the one that inflicted it. And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness.” ~Marianne Williamson

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends treating ADHD in children and adolescents with FDA-approved medications, plus parent training in behavior modification and behavioral classroom interventions. Likewise, research confirms that “stimulant medications are most effective, and combined medication and psychosocial treatment is the most beneficial treatment option for most adult patients with ADHD.” Still, many individuals seek to augment their ADHD treatment plans with natural therapies ranging from nutrition and vitamins and herbs and fish oil.“Parents and adults see me either because the ADHD medication isn’t doing the job, or they want more improvement and can’t increase the dosage without increasing side effects,” says Richard Brown, M.D., associate clinical professor of psychiatry at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, and co-author of the recent book How to Use Herbs, Nutrients, and Yoga in Mental Health Care.Here are 10 of the most popular natural ADHD remedies — including foods, ADHD supplements, and herbs — and research findings for each suggesting whether adding them to your treatment plan might unlock better focus, attention, and motivation.Keep in mind that all ADHD treatment decisions should be made in consultation and coordination with a licensed medical provider.Poor nutrition can cause a child or adult with ADHD to become distracted, impulsive, and restless.

“Forgive yourself for not knowing better at the time. Forgive yourself for giving away your power. Forgive yourself for past behaviors. Forgive yourself for the survival patterns and traits you picked up while enduring trauma. Forgive yourself for being who you needed to be.” ~Audrey Kitching

By surveying more than 1,500 women with diagnosed and undiagnosed ADHD, ADDitude sought to understand the complicated ways in which menopause impacts ADHD, and vice versa. Some key takeaways include:“I was good at masking and worked really hard to stay on top of things as a child, teenager, young adult, and young mother,” wrote one mother of four who is 64.

Michelle Mendez is one of the coaches that we found this month and we did a little interview with her. She impressed us with her life story and experience.

We often think of children as having it easy- I mean, after all, what is so stressful about being a child? Well, as it turns out, when you think about it, being a child is pretty overwhelming.Think about it: the world is brand new, they have almost zero control over their lives, and their brain isn’t 100% developed. The world is a pretty chaotic and scary place when you are small and have little choice over what happens in your life. With that said, when life becomes complicated, and your little one needs help navigating through their big emotions, what do to? I’m glad you asked.

Parenting is a tough, yet rewarding job, and it most certainly helps to have a ‘village.’ However, there are times when someone else steps into parent your child a little too much, so it’s easy to become offended when someone else tries to step in and parent your child.If you find that when someone steps in and tries to overstep their position in your child’s life you become offended, you might question if your reaction is the right one. As parents, it’s our human nature to protect our kids and defend our parenting.
