Message from the Editor
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the first issue of everyday ADDvice. This magazine is a long time coming and a much needed resource for Canadians. And what a better way to start than in October - ADHD AWARENESS MONTH!
The team that has been put together to run this magazine has been carefully selected for their various levels of expertise. The focus for this new periodical will be key issues highlighting common areas of concern as asked by our readers. We will strive to help children, youth, adults, parents, teachers and coaches by providing strategies for success and offer information on various related topics for better ADHD health and wellness and any comorbidities that can go along with it. It will also provide the much needed resources so desperately needed across Canada to help improve the lives of each and every reader.
Our topics for this month are quite interesting and our contributors are from all across our great Canadian nation. In addition to being Canadian, every contributor of this magazine is affected by either ADHD or mental wellness in some capacity. For the month of October, we will be focusing on time management and better sleep for ADHD. Along with those we have a few interesting tidbits on tutoring the ADHDer and how to better manage ADHD symptoms from our own kitchen.
Mental wellness affects us all – don’t say it doesn’t because you would only be lying to yourself. Whether you know it or not, there is someone in your life that is struggling internally and this magazine’s sole purpose is to help on every level that we can. If there is something that you are struggling with, let us know by email – we can help and we will go that extra mile to provide the information that you need.
We love quotes so we feel it’s important to let everyone know this simple fact, by none other than Albert Einstein … probably one of the most famous ADHDers:
“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
