A true story shared by a mother ...

😢 I was going to s***k my son for the first time, but then…
He handed me this photo with tears in his eyes, and…

I realized the horrible mistake I almost made.

My six-year-old son was suspended.

“He’s just a bad kid. If he does this again, I’m going to have to expel him” his principle told me.

Let me clarify one thing – my son is NOT a bad kid…

He was diagnosed with ADHD in preschool.

He was not like other kids who could sit in their seat and follow directions.

At home, he was always getting in time-outs.
At school, he was often in trouble because he could not control himself, but worst of all…

He would hit other kids when he thought they were making fun of him.

When you are told your kindergartener is suspended, it’s devastating.

I did not know much about ADHD, but…

I did not want to medicate my son at such a young age.

After his suspension ended,

We were required to meet with the school’s counselor once a week.

During our very first meeting,

The counselor provided me with more information about ADHD and…

Recommended a list of 10 children’s books she thought would help my son.

She said these books would help our son control his actions and better understand his own emotions.

I really doubted some stupid books would do anything to help, but…

I ordered them anyways.

I started reading one book to my son every night, without fail, and…

After only the 2nd book, he told me he wanted to work on becoming a better person.

By the 10th book, even his teacher noticed an improvement in his attitude!

He was much calmer and “in control” :)

My beautiful little boy tried harder in school.
He started making friends.
He woke up excited for class, and…

He was getting his homework done faster than ever!

I was amazed by how much my son had learned from these books!

👉 Half a year has passed since I first spoke to the school counselor, and

My son has not had any problems at school.

He’s still my little ball of energy at home, but…

At school, he’s made friends with almost everyone in his class, and…

He has not laid a finger on anyone since!
