Though this is a continuing education activity and the target audience is for healthcare professionals involved in the diagnosis and management of adults with ADHD, the more you know as an adult with ADHD the better.

It is this time of year when we are reminded to be thankful for all we have in our lives. We are more aware of the importance of expressing our warm gratitude to friends and loved ones. Now and especially throughout the year whenever life seems to feel more stressed take some time to think about all the things that make you feel happy and appreciative. Jot down a quick list and include both the small things like chocolate kisses and the big things like the people who love you.

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." --Melody Beattie

Basic good nutrition is essential for optimal development and learning in any child. Certainly, the foods that a child eats (or doesn't eat) can affect level of attention, energy, and overall behavior and mood. A child can also experience hunger pangs, not just from a low volume of food but also from poor nutrition. This "hunger" can lead to increased problems with concentration, irritability, and a lower tolerance for frustration.
