Focus On The Family
QUESTION: My two kids are
as different as night and day.
You'd never even know they
were bom to the same /Kirents.
One of them is having trouble
in school and the other is some-
thing of a superstar. I'm very
worried about this. Do some
kids start out doing poorly and
then catch fire?
DR. DOBSON: Thank good-
ness they often do. Let me give
you an encouraging illustration.
Several years ago I attended a
wedding ceremony in a beauti-
ful garden setting, and I came
away with some thoughts about
parents who are raising a child
like your son. After the minis-
ter had instructed the groom to
kiss the bride, approximately
150 colorful, helium-filled bal-
loons were released into the blue
California sky. Within a few sec-
onds the balloons were scat-
tered all across the heavens,
some of them rising hundreds
of feet overhead and others
cruising toward the horizon. A
tew balloons struggled to clear
the upper branches of.the trees,
while the show-offs became
mere pinpoints of color on their
journey to the sky. How inter-
esting. I thought, and how sym-
bolic of children. Let’s face it:
Some boys and girls seem to
be born with more helium than
others. They catch all the right
breezes and they soar effort-
lessly to great heights, while
others wobble dangerously
close to the trees. Their frantic
folks run along underneath,
huffing and puffing to keep
them airborne. It is an exhaust-
ing experience. In short. I have
words of encouragement to you
and all the parents of low-fly-
ing kids. Sometimes the child
who has the greatest trouble
getting off the ground eventu-
ally soars to the highest heights.
That's why I urge you as par-
ents not to look too quickly for
the person your child wilt be-
come.
QUESTION: / hear so much
about children who have
ADHD. Can you describe this
problem for me and tell me how
I might recognize it in my son ?
DR. DOBSON: The term
ADHD stands for Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder,
which is an inherited neurologi-
cal syndrome that affects ap-
proximately 3 to 5 percent of
children in the United States. It
refers to individuals who are
easily distracted, have a low tol-
erance for boredom or frustra-
tion. and tend to be impulsive
and flighty. Some of them are
also hyperactive. Children with
ADHD have a pattern of behav-
ior that sets them up for failure
in school and conflict with their
parents. Thef4tave difficulty
finishing tasks, remembering
details, focusing on a book or
assignment or even remaining
seated for more than a few min-
utes. Some appear to be driven
from within as they race wildly
from one thing to another. They
SOME KIDS TAKE LONGER TO FIND THEIR STRIDE
are often very bright and cre-
ative. yet they're seen as lazy,
disruptive and terribly disorga-
nized. ADHD children often
suffer from low self-esteem
because they have been berated
as defiant “goof-offs" who
refuse to follow the rules. They
sometimes have few friends be-
cause they can drive everyohf
crazy — even those their own
age. As for how you can rec-
ognize such a child in your
home, it is unwise for a parent
to attempt to diagnose ADHD
themselves. There are many
other problems, both psycho-
logical and physical, that can
cause the similar symptoms.
Disorders of the thyroid, for
example, can make a child hy-
peractive or sluggish; depres-
sion and anxiety can cause the
distractibility associated with
ADHD. Therefore, you must
have assistance from a physi-
cian, achild developmentalist or
a psychologist who can con-
firm the diagnosis. If you see
the symptoms I've described in
your child. I urge you to have
him or her seen professionally.
Again, you should not try to
diagnose your child! The sooner
you can get that youngster in
to see a person who specializes
in this disorder, the better.
