Having a child who suffers from ADHD can be tiring and mentally challenging, however with Adderall now being prescribed by many doctors for that condition, you may be wondering if there are going to be benefits for you as the parent of a child who has been prescribed Adderall.
Well, as it is one of the fastest active drugs for the treatment and management of ADHD one of the first things you will notice is your child will, often over a short period of time, change their behaviour, and will not be as hyper active as they had previously been.
Many parents can end up at their wits end trying to look after any child with ADHD and sadly there is no help or support for many of those parents locally, however there are a number of support groups offering online help and support.
If your child has recently been prescribed Adderall then there are going to be lots of questions that you will be looking for the answers to, and usually the first question is whether the drugs are quick acting enough for you to see improvements in your child’s behaviour.
In most cases a slow but steady improvement in their child’s behaviour will be witnessed by parents, however you should nurture those changes and actively reward good behaviour and chastise any ongoing bad behaviour.
To help parents get to grips with their child’s ADHD we do of course have lots of additional guides and news articles dotted around this website and we would urge you to read through them.
Many parents may simply think their child is misbehaving and playing up and is simply a naughty child, however if you do think that there is an underlining reason for your child’s bad behaviour then you are best off consulting with your family doctor as usually that is the only way you will find out if your child is suffering from ADHD.
If a positive diagnosis of ADHD is given then that is usually a weight off the parent’s mind as often parents tend to challenge their parenting skills and abilities when they cannot control their child no matter how hard they try, which is something you will experience when looking after any child who has ADHD.
