Why don\u2019t traditional ADHD treatments always work?\xa0
Why does it sometimes feel like no matter what you try - be it medication, supplements, therapy, or various other strategies - that NOTHING actually works long term for your child with ADHD?\xa0
If you\u2019ve ever asked either of\xa0 these questions, then this episode of the Soaring Child podcast is for you.
Many times, traditional ADHD treatments don\u2019t work long term because they are focusing on symptom management, NOT actually addressing the underlying stressors of ADHD. Tune in to this episode to learn more.\xa0

[17:02] The REAL issue parents need to address in order to effectively reduce ADHD symptoms long term
\u201dIf you've ever been puzzled by the effectiveness of traditional methods, this is your episode.\u201d
\u201dThe biggest misconception about ADHD in kids is that medication is the only way to treat it. The problem with medications is that they merely mask the symptoms, without addressing the underlying stressors of ADHD.\u201d
\u201dSupplements can be effective and healing in the body. But first, parents need to be sure they are supplementing correctly.\u201d
\u201cWe supplement based on a child\u2019s unique needs, and not use a one size fits all approach. Because one size does not fit all.\u201d
\u201cShockingly, many supplements have quality problems.\u201d
\u201dWe sacrificed a LOT to try therapy for my son, and it did not help at all. Not even a little bit.\u201d
\u201dTherapy can be effective, but it\u2019s not the most impactful way of handling ADHD symptoms for the vast majority of children.\u201d
\u201dWhile it is valuable to learn effective parenting strategies, and learn to communicate with your child better, those are almost never the reason children experience ADHD symptoms.\u201d
\u201dDiet can definitely make a difference. But, many children with ADHD are picky eaters, and they can act up if they aren\u2019t given foods they like.\u201d
\u201dI have never seen a child grow out of ADHD without some kind of changes.\u201d
\u201dThe truth is, most ADHD strategies\u2026. often miss the mark in addressing the real issue. Instead, they only address the symptoms.\u201d
\u201dThe reason traditional ADHD treatments don\u2019t work long term is because they are focusing on symptom management, NOT actually addressing the underlying stressor of\xa0 the ADHD.\u201d
\u201dThe World Health Organization ranks chronic inflammatory diseases as the greatest threat to human health.\u201d
