When you become a parent, you have to pick up a lot of strange and unusual tricks to cure ailments.
However, one Mom found an answer to a very serious problem in a place we don’t typically look to for such answers.
Christie Haskell’s 7-year-old son Rowan hasn’t been diagnosed with ADHD, but she believes it’s the only possibly explanation. Her method of dealing with his undiagnosed disease? Coffee…two cups a day for her second grader.
Haskell says while coffee might give us the jitters, it actually calms down her son and makes his behavior more stable. However, doctors warn this method has no proof of being healthy or successful, and they encourage parents to avoid this approach.
However, those same doctors may be quick to prescribe strong drugs like Ritalin and Adderal, which many parents like Haskell do not want their children drugged up with.
So, Haskell follows the unorthodox remedy she’s found on all the “Mommy Blogs” and doses her boy with caffiene on the daily.
Take a look at the video below and don’t forget to SHARE your opinion with us in the comments (because we know you’ll have one). Likewise, pass this story along to a parent in your life if you think they’ll have an opinion too.
