Make it clear that ADD is nobody’s fault. It is not Mom’s or Dad’s fault. It is not brother’s or sister’s fault. It is not Grandmother’s fault, and it is not the fault of the person who has ADD. It is nobody’s fault. It is extremely important that this be understood and believed by all members of the family. Lingering feelings that ADD is just an excuse for irresponsible behavior or that ADD is caused by laziness will sabotage treatment.
