Just venting
Hi everyone, I just wanted to get advise on how to deal with relatives and people who doesn’t validate that you child has ADHD, they always say things like “Oh his behavior is normal it will pass, there is no such thing as ADHD” or “I feel like everyone has ADHD in different levels” and other nonsense comments. I mean, people are soooo uneducated about this topic and they want to know your child better than you.
Stand your ground regardless of what your relatives say! I’ve been through this with family and you know your child better than anyone else! You could attempt to further educate them by sharing articles or simply going about your business and caring and taking care of your child’s mental health needs regardless of lack of education on their end. A lot of families are often in denial or in shame or don’t believe certain mental health orders exist!
