1987 Dear Sr. U. As-salaamu alaykum. During the past few years, the medical community has discovered many ways for parent to deal with their children diagnosed with ADD. Therefore, we urge you to seek help of your local family practitioner who can give you professional advice. Also, since it is your own daughter, she deserves a lot of care. Therefore, we advise you to check no non-sense book about this topic from your local public library or bookstore. You will be amazed how much information has been written about this topic that can really help her and all those living with her. We could have mentioned here few tips but you should really consult your local doctor. Also, make sure to monitor her diet because there has been enough scientific evidence linking certain food ingredients with the increase in hyperactivity. Among these ingredients are food colorings, flavorings, preservatives (BHA, BHT, and TBHQ). As to her situation when she grows up, try to put her in an Islamic school if your community has one. If not, then try the best reputable school, even if you would have to spend more money on her. Remember, you would be investing in a human being and you will be judged and rewarded for what you have provided to her. Also, let her be involved with the activities of your local mosque and let her make friends from the Muslim community. Islam should be her life, but this doesnt come easily. You will have to implant it in her. Good luck. You are up to a big challenge. Thank you for asking and God knows best. (Source: IslamiCity)
