A mother describes her 6-year-old daughter's severe hyperactivity and difficulty focusing in a hybrid school-home program. She's tried diet changes, reduced screen time, and structured routines to avoid medication, but the child still struggles with reading and staying still in class. After a poor school report, she's considering a medical evaluation but exploring alternatives like a protocol her daughter's teacher recommended.
My daughter is super hyper. She's 6. She's— I have not had her formally diagnosed with ADHD because I haven't wanted to go that route and then deal with all the doctors who will be upset with me if I don't want to jump right on medication. So, um, I've tried every alternative possible. We've cut back sugar, we've cut back a lot of processed foods, anything that has dye in it. I make everything from scratch, just about. We don't have anything boxed in our house. Um, I've tried to eliminate screen time and really regulate that, make sure lights are low. I've tried everything that I can to help her be able to focus, um, at school. I do a hybrid program where she goes to school 2 days a week and is taught by a teacher, and I have access to lesson plans and grade books. And she comes home and I homeschool the other 3 days of the week. And she's been at this school for 2 years, and for 2 years we've really struggled to get her to read well. She's in the first grade, um, and it's like a university model homeschool program, so the school requirements— there's a lot of schoolwork. We do science, math, Bible history, Latin, English reading, phonics, spelling. Uh, I think that covers it all, so there's a lot going on. And she struggles to sit still in class. She struggles to listen. She struggles to answer questions, to like be able to respond, to stay on topic. Um, and this has probably been about a year that I thought, well, I really should take her to the doctor and get her diagnosed, but I don't want to put her straight on medication. And I think that she needs it. She's coming right into this age— she'll be 7 in May— where these types of things become— well, this is the age when doctors can diagnose them, is what I've heard. So everything that I've tried has helped. But, you know, every time she goes to school, I get the report from the teacher. It was a little bit of a rough day. And so I finally was like, Mom, what can I do? What can I do? Because I'm about to take her to the doctor. I've had it. Like, I really need to— we need to do something. And she said, okay, let me ask Nikki. So I think that she asked you, and she got this PDF file, um, which was 6 pages that gave me information on a protocol. So I read through it and I was like, wow, this sounds amazing, because it was the, the little, I guess, testimony that comes with it was used for a boy who had autism.
