The Supplemental Kick

When you think about a thyroid hormones you probably never would have imagined that these hormones might be the cause of ADD. This has not been exactly proven just yet, but there are currently more and more doctors that are beginning to believe that thyroid hormones are related to attention deficit disorder.

This is actually good news because the treatment for a thyroid disorder is much safer than that of Ritalin or other drugs that are used to treat your child. I know that many parents have been searching for an alternative because of the many unfortunate side effects that they experience. Its sad that in order to help our children we need to pump them with a drug that almost numbs them.

The findings that these studies have found regarding the thyroid gland will mean that the treatment for attention deficit disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder will be much more effective and have little to no side effects short term or long term.

Treatments for thyroid disorders include thyroid hormone replacement therapy. This will help to increase the levels of hormones to the right levels, and will allow your body to begin functioning correctly again. A result of this will mean that your child will once again be able to concentrate and focus in school. You will begin getting less phone calls home, or notes send home with them. This is everything that you could ask for.

If you are currently dealing with a child that suffers from attention deficit disorder you may want to consider taking him or her into the doctor and request that their thyroid hormone level be checked. All that is required to test this is a blood test. It just might change everything about the way that you treat your childs ADD or ADHD. You can learn more about thyroid hormone replacement therapy online, and you will find that there is nothing nearly as bad about this type of treatment, as there is with the use of Ritalin. Hormone replacement is simply giving your body what it needs; its almost like taking a daily vitamin. When you have the right amounts of vitamins and nutrients in your body it functions better, and you find that you are sick less often. Your body is working correctly.

Tassel

It is a tradition to wear graduation caps or hat with tassels attached to it. To look presentable during the graduation ceremony, the tassel is attached to the cap. The tassels can be either of the same color as the graduation gown or a different color altogether depending on the school. Most graduates prefer wearing tassels that are made of the same color. The

tassel

is available in a wide range of colors depending on the preference of the graduate. The tassels can be made using a single color or a mixture of two colors. Others prefer tassels made of three or more colors. In most schools, the tassels can be hired together with the complete graduation gown or one can decide to buy their own graduation attire. Some graduates prefer buying their own personalized attires because they will be able to keep the tassels as well as the gown and cap as souvenirs. The tassels play an important role during the graduation ceremony. Once the students have received their diplomas or awards, the tassels are flipped to the other side as a sign, which shows that the student has graduated. For bachelor graduates a tassel is placed on the right side and tossed on the left after the award is given.

Is it possible to get the kids to obey all the time?

Have you tried everything and it doesn’t seem to work?

How do we get the kids to do their chores, homework, clean their
room with a good attitude.

If the children have a safe environment and we expect them to be
responsible and competent, then that is a very important first step.

If children feel safe they will be confident.
If children have responsibilty they will be competent.

Remember, that we don’t want perfect kids, we want happy kids.

When RULES are consistently enforced the child will have strong
safe boundaries.This has been tough for me, I have always wanted
to make things easy and by giving in and not being consistant I
made things alot harder.
Rules that are set and consistently enforced work, and they work
without argument.
I have waivered alot, and that confuses them. I thought I was being kind and soft hearted,instead I was sending out mixed signals.
I also have learned that being consistant with a smile works alot better than being inconsistant with a frown.

Rules that never waiver work.
We need to understand that there is no pushing the rules.
My 9 year old daughter will only beg and plead if I have been
inconsistent and if I have given into her in the past.
Kids want to know where the boundries are. If I give in when I am in a good mood and enforce rules when I am in a bad mood, how do the kids really know where they stand?

My kids know that if they only have to do something once in a
while; It really is not a rule.

New rules can feel unsafe at first. So try one new rule at a
time. Take one step at a time, say the rule out loud and always explain to them the reasons why.
Always remember life is short, so don’t sweat the small stuff, these rules are suppose to make life easier with less arguing and more time to have fun.

You can have confident competent kids, they will take responsibility, if you set rules and consistently enforce them. Anytime you don’t enforce a rule, apologize and explain why that was an exception and explain that the routine is back into place.
Let your kids take responsibilty for their own actions.
This is really tough to do, but WOW does it ever work like MAGIC!

If I could do it all over again “I’d finger-paint more, and point the finger, less.

Enjoy the Journey,
