Parenting Classes: Empowering Parents to Manage AD/HD at Home - Series of Seminars from ADHD Society of the Philippines

My husband and I attended a seminar on Alternative Medicine for people with ADHD and we were pleased with the seminar so we decided to get memberships to support the ADHD Society. This time the ADHD Society is raising the ante by holding a series of parenting classes on how to raise children with ADHD. There are 8 sessions tackling different areas of parenting upto becoming an advocate for your own child.
