Nutrition & Mental Health: An overview of what the science says

25 Things Kids with ADHD Wished Their Parents & Teachers Knew about ADHD
Most parents of kids and adolescents who have ADHD try very hard to be compassionate and understanding of the nature of ADHD and its various effects on behaviour, mood, academic performance, and so on. What we can all forget, sometimes, is that somewhere in there is a kid who understands ADHD better than anyone else. This presentation is based on hundreds of conversations with kids with ADHD and their response to the basic – but critically important – question “What do you wish others knew about you and your ADHD?” Using their own words is a great place to engage in truly understanding the condition and developing more effective ways to work with kids, adolescents, and young adults who have ADHD while also framing the symptoms in a much more positive manner, so the focus is on strengths as opposed to focusing on the negative effects of ADHD. Strategies developed in collaboration with kids with ADHD will also be discussed. This session is presented by the Community Education Service of the Child & Adolescent Addiction, Mental Health & Psychiatry Program (CAAMHPP) of AHS. This FREE program will be presented via videoconference in the Program Room of the library. No registration is required. www.strathmorelibrary.ca

Summer Slide: What is it and what can you do to prevent it?

In this session, learn how to keep children engaged over the summer to ensure they don’t lose any ground in their learning and experience the joy of reading.
