The Effects of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) on Your Son
We can help your teenager who is suffering with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), a behavior pattern seen as the lack of ability to stay focused, with difficulty in controlling emotions and his movement, when compared with the general population. This behavior can easily hinder his capacity to finish his work, and function successfully in society.
If your boy is easily sidetracked, jumps from one incomplete assignment to another or has poor organizational skills, he may well be facing a diagnosis of Attention Deficit Disorder.
Exact cause of ADD (also known as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD) is unproven but research shows some association with diet, genetics and surroundings.
How We Can Treat Your Son’s Attention Deficit Disorder at Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch
Attention Deficit Disorder is one of the most often diagnosed problems among teenagers today and it is so important to identify this disorder properly, as certain other conditions (i.e.: thyroid or sleep problems, anxiety, depression, unexpected life changes) can closely mimic ADHD-like behaviors
Because of the great level of distraction with ADD leading to poor academic performance and low self-confidence, a large number of boys with it will fail to finish school. While he may not totally outgrow his symptoms, your son can certainly learn strategies for success.
You don’t want ADHD to control his life!
