Answers:
Hi
Please be patient. ADHD is difficult to handle ,but with patience and proper medication your daughter will be easier to manage.
If you haven't adjusted her diet, Please do so. She needs to be eating healthy foods,NO junk food(no candy, cookies,chips,pop or chocolate)check labels for MSG,sodium benzoate and food dyes which can make ADHD children more difficult to control.
Fresh whole foods are best (whole wheat bread, vegetables,fruits and lean meat.) ADHD children are negative, lie and have behaviour problems, but you must understand it is NOT her fault, it is the disorder.
Please read all you can on the disorder to better educate yourself and to help you to cope.
You may want to ask the paediatrician about another disorder called Asperger syndrome, your daughter may have this not ADHD,both are treatable.

First of all i want to say that I am truely sorry and God Bless You.

But I would talk to her doctor, they might increase her medication doseage.
But either way, talk to her doc.

My son is adhd and extremely intelligent, to intelligent for my own good. I just have to keep reminding myself that when he does something bizarre that he can't help himself. Try to cuddle with her as much as possible. My son is almost 12 but he still loves to sit beside me and have me rub his feet or back etc..This seems to soothe him and calm him down sometimes.
