Now at this typing I'm having a little bit of trouble getting to any of my Squidoo sites, but am sure it's temporary.Here is a list of what you'll find so far, and as others are added, I'll let you know:Mommy, I Have a Tummy AcheMommy, Do I Have ADD or ADHD?Mommy, I Have a SunburnMommy, I Have a Pink EyeMommy, I Have A Runny NoseSite Feed (Source: Happy Nutritionist's Nuggets) Happy Nutritionist's Nuggets blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2727456 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 01:41:00 +0100 2727456 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2463117&cid=t_357184_122_f&fid=35065&url=http%3A%2F%2Feideneurolearningblog.blogspot.com%2F2009%2F06%2Fadhd-different-reward-motivation.html More on the evolving story about ADHD biology and reward. Rather than ADHD appearing as a fixed deficit in executive function, increasing evidence suggests that children (and adults) with ADHD behaviors are showing impulsivity mainly in non-reward situations.In this latest study from Germany, 8-13 year old boys diagnosed with ADHD showed a much greater ability to inhibit impulsive behavior on the go/no-go test if rewards- monetary or social were involved. The differences were striking between the two groups...whereas only 12.5% of the control group slowed down their behaviors and improved their responses in the control group, 43.8% of the ADHD group slowed down their behaviors and exhibited fewer false alarm rates. The implications for findings such as this are significant - if making exte...

Most families tended to stopped the drugs by two years anyway, but some vocal medication-proponents had suggested this was endangering children's health. In fact, besides medications having less symptomatic benefit with chronic use, the latest study also comments on observation that long-term medication may also impair growth (children who took medication for 36 months or longer were 6 lbs lighter and one inch shorter)Excerpt NIMH summary:"A majority (61.5 percent) of the children who were medicated at the end of the 14-month trial had stopped taking medication by th...

When taken to task for them he said, "The wildest colts make the best horses when they come to be properly trained." - Plutarch (46-120 AD)There's a lot of buzz about two new studies this month that suggest that children with attentional and behavioral problems in the early elementary grades are not doomed to failure as they grow up. In fact most of them seem to do just as well as their "easier" fellow students in the early grades.From the NY Times:"Kindergartners who interrupted the teacher, defied instructions and even picked fights were performing as well in reading and math as well-behaved children of the same abilities when they both reached fifth grade, the study found."and from the NIMH, Dr. Phili...

There are many possible reasons for this, but one paper I came across this week reinforced the notion that knowledge, creativity, and knowledge or information retrieval are very different things.Information retrieval is not as catchy a notion as attention these days, but it is a distinct process in the brain, and it what you are asking students to do when you ask them to repeat back what they learned in class or from their homework.

I do my best to roll with the punches. Agility in all aspects of my life is a firm goal, but sometimes things get out of control. A significant facet of my life has become less and less stable. Things change at a moment’s notice. Priorities vary one minute to the next. What I was sure of an hour ago is now vague and hazy. What was steady and reliable is now shifting and incoherent. After too much of this I just shut down. Focus is not possible. I get depressed. I stop caring. I drift. The storm takes me and there is little I can do about it. I remember feeling this same way in school. The first few weeks were almost always fine, but as time went on and I procrastinated doing homework and failed to complete assignments the apprehension rose. Aft...

If you can keep your focus to the end of today's blog you might just find out.If I was worried about being bored when I began this week, it turns out I had nothing to fear. My girls have kept me so busy that I haven't had time to breathe, nevermind find time to be bored. Keeping busy, of course, is one way to fend off boredom for any individual. With the AD/HD mind, however, we need to plan in advance if we want to prevent ourselves from getting in trouble. Sometimes, keeping busy is not an option.When dealing with boredom and the AD/HD mind it is important to realize that the AD/HD mind doesn't actually spend much time being bored at all. Picture the AD/HD mind with a special teflon coating that r...

I believe it is and I'll be covering six ways I've found that work for me all this week. Contrary to popular belief, as evidenced by some of my more vitriolic commenters, I have AD/HD, and until recent years it made my life a living hell. That's not to say that I suddenly found a cure. No, instead I grew tired of being beat up by consequences and decided to make some changes in my life. Ever heard of consequences? You know, show up late to work and get fired. Forget to lock up the store after you leave and get fired. Paste a newspaper article upside down and get fired... Those kind of consequences? (I still maintain that I didn't paste that newspaper article upside down, but instead...

Judging from some of the articles I've read she does, but did you ever get a pass for ADD? Neither did I.I have a life beyond the gossip rags, so I missed this little gem last week where TMZ got the "scoop" of the decade. According to unnamed sources, Paris Hilton suffers from extreme Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and claustrophobia. These sources also fingered Adderall as Paris' particular poison of choice, and claimed 'twas pity that spared the beast when the ole Sherif learned of Paris' panic attacks from lack of medication. All across the tubes site after site regurgitated the above sentences without skepticism. Not a single site, not even Foxnews, could corroborate this information separately. Yet all si...

Hallowell and John J. Ratey for diagnosis.I have long linked to their classic book on ADHD, "Driven to Distraction", on my site and have used their list of criteria as fodder for many articles. Their book explores the phenomenon of ADHD through the cases of Dr. Hallowell and provides in depth descriptions of the various aspects of this disorder.
