We previously discussed the symptoms and signs of ADHD/ADD in detail in our last article. Now, let's dive into the solution!

Is there actually a solution to ADHD?

In an interview with ACRES USA magazine in 2016, Dr. Natasha discussed the increasing number of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder:

“Not long ago, it was one in 150. Today, we diagnose one in 35-40 children, and the numbers will continue to rise. This is an absolute disaster. The vast majority of autistic children were born with perfectly normal brains, but at birth, they acquire abnormal gut flora from their mothers. As a result, the child’s digestive system, instead of being a source of nutrition, becomes the primary source of toxicity.” [6] Yes, we may notice an increasing number of children with various disorders, but that doesn't mean these issues didn't exist 30 or 50 years ago.

The problem may lie somewhere else.

Their report cards were filled with notes about disruptions, shouting out, forgetting supplies, lack of attention, etc.

If we dig deeper, we'd likely find many cases where such children ended up in special schools due to their results, even though today we know that a child with ADHD/ADD is typically of average to above-average intelligence (they just need a different approach to learning to be able to achieve high grades).

Does ADHD only affect children?

How many adults today are still grappling with the effects of childhood trauma due to learning disorders, focus issues, speech problems, tics, or hyperactivity?

Constant criticism, punishment, and humiliation, whether from parents or teachers, likely left scars not only on the child’s soul but also deep wounds in their self-esteem, not to mention much worse starting conditions for life.

Experts suggest that only 40-50% of ADHD symptoms persist into adulthood.

Even if the individual is fortunate enough for their attention disorder not to manifest in adulthood, they may still carry the consequences of an inappropriate and unprofessional approach during childhood, which can affect their career, success, and overall happiness.

What causes ADHD?

This is a question many doctors likely ask, but the exact cause remains unknown based on available sources.

However, there are mentions that the health condition of the mother during pregnancy, alcohol consumption, and other drugs may influence the development of ADHD, and there is no doubt that genetic predisposition also plays a role.

The cause of oxygen deprivation in newborns during difficult labors is also being discussed.

I'd like to focus on this last point.

In my Bach therapy practice, I've noticed that every mother who came to me with a child showing ADHD symptoms mentioned that the child’s birth was difficult, long, complicated, and challenging, with many interventions, medications, or even the use of forceps or Kristeller’s maneuver (pressing on the mother’s abdomen).

Did people around you say this after childbirth?

“Just be thankful that you’re both healthy and alive, nothing else matters.”

… have an enormous impact on the psyche of you and your child (even though many obstetricians still deny or overlook this).

It also often happens that women have experienced significant trauma but need to reshape it in their minds to avoid collapsing and to be able to function for their child.

However, it’s time to acknowledge what really happened and whether it has left any consequences on you and, of course, on your child.

If so, blockages and trauma from a difficult birth can be resolved with Bach easences.

Finally, let’s recall Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride.

According to her research, children diagnosed with ADHD inherited their mother's gut microbiome during birth, which was already unbalanced.

Subsequent poor eating habits resulted in leaky gut syndrome, which affects brain function.

How is ADHD treated, and what to do if my child shows the symptoms above?

In mild cases of ADHD, medication is not necessary.

For more severe cases, medications may be recommended to support the brain areas that are affected.

However, medication can only alleviate symptoms (such as increasing attention, reducing hyperactivity…) but doesn’t cure ADHD.

In my practice, I’ve often encountered cases where pediatricians and child psychologists delayed examination and assessments until the child was 5 or 6 years old to be sure of their decision.

But mothers didn’t want to wait for four years with their hands tied, wallowing in fear and hope. Their maternal intuition was firm and led them to me.

What to do if your child is only 2 or 3 years old and no one wants to hear about autism, ADHD, or other disorders?

This is confirmed not only by mothers but also by preschool teachers or group leaders.

However, it is important to prepare for several months of Dr. Bach therapy.

The basic treatment lasts 3 months, but in these cases, it may take much longer. Bach Flower Remedies are harmless and have no side effects.

Don't forget about yourself.

You also deserve significant attention during this time.

The younger your child is, the more important it is for you to undergo a Bach therapy treatment.

Don’t wallow in feelings of guilt or failure. Gain much more patience, determination, and consistency.

If this is your issue, reduce anger outbursts, criticize less, and praise more… in other words, become a confident, steady lighthouse for your child in the stormy ocean of attention disorders.

Because, in the end, what will most influence your child’s development and the impact of ADHD on their daily life will be your approach and the atmosphere at home, which can determine whether they will one day cope with their psychological problems through alcohol and drugs.
