In my experience labelling a child as ADHD is a gift for you as a parent and for the child. Because now you know what you can do to really love, nurture and support your child.
How does this work? An ADHD label is society telling us a child is not fitting the system, they are different. The gift is that you now know your child is struggling within the system.
So your role, as parent, is to give your child the understanding, guidance, love and support they need so they can be in the system and thrive.
To me this understanding comes from really loving and accepting your child just as they are and celebrating their unique qualities.
