Fresh start 2018

Well I made it through the highs and lows of 2017 and I am onto a new adventure of 2018. Lots of changes happening and lots of learning. I have new and better understanding of my own challenges with growing up with undiagnosed ADHD. And that is really helping me with my sons Adhd. Dealing with distractions  has always been rough. The slightest thing or movement, like a butterfly, could distract me from a conversation I was having with the person. I am seeing the same distractions in my son.  He can be in the middle of telling me about his day, and a bug can call across the counter and he is instantly transfixed on the bug, completely forgetting about the conversation.  And my other son, has some of the same challenges. But this is more directly related to his amazing imagination. He can be in the middle of working on homework and see one of his action figures on the shelf and start telling me all about his powers. Everything seems to be a distraction from something that is not a highly preferred activity. And I cannot blame  them. Everything is distracting to me too. The challenges of ADHD never end!
