Children arenโ€™t always great at saying, โ€œMom, somethingโ€™s sore.โ€ Sometimes, a limp, less appetite, or refusing to play can say more than words ever could.

This is a reminder to keep an eye on how your child moves, plays, and grows. Their bones and joints are still developing โ€” and things like infections, injuries, or vitamin deficiencies can cause long-term issues if ignored.

๐Ÿ‘€ Keep watch for:

- Pain or swelling in a joint or limb
- Limping or avoiding certain movements
- Fever, redness, or warmth around a joint
- Knock knees or other visible changes

Thereโ€™s still so much misunderstanding around ADHD, so letโ€™s set the record straight ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿšซ Myth: ADHD is over-diagnosed
โœ… Fact: In many adults, itโ€™s actually under-diagnosed. Early recognition means people can access the right tools and strategies to thrive.

๐Ÿšซ Myth: ADHD is caused by bad parenting
โœ… Fact: Parenting doesnโ€™t cause ADHD. Supportive parents, however, play a huge role in helping kids manage it well.

๐Ÿšซ Myth: ADHD is just a diet issue
โœ… Fact: Food can influence focus, but sugar isnโ€™t the cause. For some, sensitivities may play a role, but ADHD canโ€™t be โ€œcuredโ€ by diet.

๐Ÿšซ Myth: ADHD is only a childhood condition
โœ… Fact: ADHD is lifelong. Many adults continue to manage it โ€” symptoms just look different as we grow.

๐Ÿ’ก Understanding ADHD helps break stigma and builds support for those living with it every day.
