be observant of your children's actions, with a loving kindness, help them to see it also. Then act as if the moment is the only important thing on your mind, focus and observe and you will see the action to take, cheers.

observations are an act of awareness, then sitting with those thoughts, brings you to actions. Be in the moment and mindful of what you do. Slow down your actions and try to think first before you impuslively move forward. Take a deep breath and try to be mindful as you act, cheers.

Personal Information
Name: eliane
Gender: Female
About Me: I am 55 years old,
Both, my son and daughter have ADHD. Only to see that both are very different. My son, aged 25, has ADHD and is hyper with anger issues. We worked very hard through his child/teen years without knowing about ADHD. We can say he's seeing success for his efforts. He works daily on how to express his feelings with words, and is doing a fabulous job with his learning's. He was married on July 18, 2009 to a wonderful understanding woman that walks at his side with amazing support, together they will succeed. He is my child but now an adult, standing on his own, with much success with his hurdles in life.
My daughter, age 18, has ADHD, but differently, with her being inattentive and very impulsive. She is presently confused with life. She also has ODD attached, and more to understand.
My daughter wants no rules and no boundries and expects everything from us and sees no need to participate in return. We are working very hard to manage with change towards a more positive relationship. It takes a lot of patience and hard inner work on my part.
In the last few years, we have gone through a rough road. She left us for a grouphome thinking the grass was greener there. Not so and returned home, she is trying an alternative high school now, finally she is seeing success with her grades. At 16 my daughter had the ability to block any of my support by placing a no access to information against me. I blindly support her though our interactions by being positive no matter what mood she is in. It is teaching me how to live and let live. I am responsible for only myself, for that is all I have control over, only what I do, can I control.

Update: It so disheartening whenever one that you love so much lies, to them self and others. My daughter has been caught doing drugs and now will pay the price. A life lesson I would not wish upon her but perhaps a good time for her to become aware of her actions and to make change. I have learned to let go of her responsibilities in her walk in life and take care of my own. A growth pattern that seems to have just happened through all my one step at a time thinking. I am able to let go of my daughter's walk but be there for support. You can take a horse to water, but you can't make it drink was my mother's saying. I pray each day for bliss and an awareness for my daughter to grow and blossom into the wonderful person she is inside.

Hi Eliane - I've had an amazing year and have really enjoyed becoming an ADHD Coach. I graduated from the ADD Coaching Academy (ADDCA) as an Advanced Coaching Graduate just before the end of the year. I'm looking forward to what 2010 is going to bring. I hope you have a great 2010!!

Hello Eliane, nice to hear from you. Thank you so much for liking the cards and wanting to share them at your work. My teacher gave them to me as a gift and she always reminds me to share them. I have now put them as an online slide showshow and the entire set can be viewed and downloaded at once. The link is

Tomorrow my wife and I are leaving on a vacation to Salzburg in Austria where Sound of Music was filmed. We are eagerly looking forward to it. I get your updates and nice videos through Facebook and like them a lot. Wishing you a good week ahead, Ramakant

I am doing well Eliane and thank you for remembering me. We are enjoying the last bit of summer in Germany and apparently it is called 'Indian Summer' here and in North America. I found the coincidence amusing!! I check here regularly and saw the photos of your son's wedding...they are very nice. But yes I too feel bad that I have not written much lately. 3 out of the 4Ms and good wishes from well wishers like you make sure that I am safe and sound but I am still wondering what to do about Medication, which is one of the reasons I had no updates here for a long time. I stopped taking my meds in Jan this year and managed pretty well (I think) but now I can feel distinct changes...I trip more often on stairs and bump my head into the sloping roof of our apartment...That is not new to me...My entire life before being diagnosed I was like that but while I was on meds I thought I had better control over myself...In July I went back to my psychiatrist and took a prescription for Strattera (I took its generic variant for 15 months before stopping it for financial reasons) Now I can afford it (although barely) and still wondering whether to start taking it...My main concern is that my work should not get affected...I will write more details in a blog soon. With best wishes to you and your family, Ramakant
