ADHD. These medications help improve the signs and symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity, sometimes dramatically. Examples include Concerta, Metadate, Ritalin, Dexedrine and Adderall XR. Stimulant drugs are available in short-acting and long-acting forms (Hallowell & Ratey, 2005). The right dose varies from adult to adult, and child to child. It may take some time to find the correct dose. The dose may need to be adjusted if significant side effects occur or as you or your child matures.
Alternative Medicine
Many parents of children with ADHD and adults diagnosed with ADHD want to know if there are other options out there besides taking stimulants. Some believe in a more realistic and “natural way” of managing ADHD. There's little
research that indicates that alternative medicine treatments
can reduce ADHD symptoms. Before considering any alternative
interventions, talk with your doctor to determine if the
therapy will be safe. Some alternative medicine treatments that
have been tried, but are not yet fully proved scientifically. They
include:
• Yoga, meditation and exercise. Doing regular yoga routines or
meditation and relaxation techniques may help you relax and
learn discipline, as well as helping your mood and anxiety. Any
form of exercise is likely to do the trick. It helps kids and adults
with ADHD release energy in a healthy, constructive way.
• Special diets. Most diets that have been promoted for ADHD involve eliminating foods thought to increase hyperactivity, such as sugar, caffeine, common allergens such as wheat, milk and eggs. Some diets recommend eliminating artificial food colorings and additives or to be gluten free. So far, studies haven't found a consistent link between diet and improved symptoms of ADHD.
• Mirrors. Researchers claim that having a child complete tasks in front of a mirror may help children with ADHD stay focused. The mirrors act as a coach to remind them they're getting off task. In one study, the more time ADHD kids spent looking in the mirror, the better they were at completing the puzzle they were given. The mirror method only works if the child has a clear diagnosis of ADHD. In normal children, the mirrors may actually decrease attention and performance.

have major problems in one or more areas of their life, such as their career, finances, or family responsibilities.
• When did the symptoms start? Since ADHD starts in childhood, the doctor or therapist will look at how early the symptoms appeared. If you are an adult, can you trace the symptoms back to your childhood?
• How long have the symptoms been bothering you or
your child? Symptoms must have been going on for at
least 6 months before ADHD can be diagnosed.
• When and where do the symptoms appear?
The symptoms of ADHD must be present in multiple
settings, such as at home and school. If the symptoms only appear in one environment, it is unlikely that ADHD is to blame (Grohol & Martin, 2013).
3 Types of ADHD in Children
Doctors may classify symptoms as the following types of ADHD:
• Combined type (inattentive/hyperactive/impulsive). Children with this type of ADHD show all three symptoms. This is the most common form of ADHD.
• Hyperactive/impulsive type. Children show both hyperactive and impulsive behavior, but for the most part, they are able to pay attention.
• Inattentive type. Formerly called attention deficit disorder (ADD). These children are not overly active. They do not disrupt the classroom or other activities, so their symptoms might not be noticed (Hallowell & Ratey, 2005).
What problems are faced?
ADHD is considered a common neuro-behavioral disorder in children marked by being overactive, trouble paying attention and problems controlling impulsive behaviors who often experience poor academic performance, behavior problems, and difficulties with social interaction.
Treatment of ADHD
Standard treatments for ADHD in children include medications, education, training and counseling. These treatments can relieve many of the symptoms of ADHD, but they don't cure it. Currently, stimulant drugs (psychostimulants) are the most commonly prescribed medications for

Motherless
As a kid, you probably saw at least one Disney film or least part of one, right? It’s hard for parents to get their children to sit down for dinner, let alone for a whole movie. A lot of children don’t realize that a lot of Disney characters don’t have mothers, and if they did, the main characters usually loose them shortly into the movie. Some have no parents at all. Some people believe it’s because the movies are about learning how to grow up and being there is so little time to squish it all into a 90 minute video, they simply take the parents out of the equation because it forces the characters to step up. Though this may be true, others believe it’s because Walt Disney’s mother died and his father had to be taken to the hospital due to their furnace leaking. Sources think Disney felt responsible because he bought the house for his parents and had his own crew working on the furnace (The Huffington Post).
About Walt Disney
On December 5, 1901, Walter Elias "Walt" Disney was born in Hermosa, Illinois. Along with his brother, Roy, Disney co-founded Walt Disney Productions. This became one of the best-known motion-picture production companies in the world. Disney was a creative animator and came up with the cartoon character Mickey Mouse. During his lifetime, Disney won 22 Academy Awards, and was the founder of the famous theme parks Disneyland and Walt Disney World (Networks Television, n.d.).
Disney’s Early Life
Walt Disney’s father, Elias Disney, was an Irish-Canadian, while his mother, Flora Call Disney, was German-American. Disney had four other siblings; four boys, including Disney, and one girl. During most of their childhood they lived in Marceline, Missouri. This is where Disney began drawing, painting and selling pictures to neighbors and family friends. His family moved to Kansas City In 1911, where Disney developed his interests in trains, taking after his uncle, Mike Martin, who was a train engineer. Disney would later work a summer job with the railroad, selling snacks and newspapers to travelers (Networks Television, n.d.).
Disney took drawing and photography classes and was a contributing cartoonist for the school paper at McKinley High School in Chicago. He also took courses at the Chicago Art Institute during the night. When Disney was only 16 years old, he dropped out of school to join the army. He was soon rejected for being underage, so he joined the Red Cross and was sent to France for a year to drive an ambulance (.Networks Television, n.d.).
The Early Cartoons
Disney moved back to Kansas City to pursue a career as a newspaper artist from France in 1919. His brother Roy got him a job at the Pesmen-Rubin Art Studio, where he met cartoonist known as Ub Iwerks. After that, Disney worked at the Kansas City Film Ad Company, where he made commercials based on cutout animation and soon began experimenting with a camera, doing hand-drawn cel animation, and decided to open his own animation business. From the ad company, he recruited Fred Harman as his first employee. The two made a deal with the local Kansas City theater to screen their cartoons, Laugh-O-Grams, which became hugely popular. However, by 1923, the studio became burdened with debt, and Disney had to declare bankruptcy (Networks Television, n.d.).
Later, Disney and his brother put their money and moved to California with Iwerks. There they began the Disney Brothers' Studio. The three’s very first deal was with New York distributor Margaret Winkler, to distribute their cartoons, Alice. They also invented a character called Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. During that time, Disney hired an ink-and-paint artist named Lillian Bounds. After a brief courtship, the couple married. A few years down the road, Disney discovered that Margret and her husband, Charles Mintz,, stole the rights to Oswald and all of Disney’s animators, except for Iwerks. Because of this, the Disney brothers, their wives and Iwerks produced a character Walt had been developing; the now famous, Mickey Mouse (Networks Television, n.d.).
Death
Within a few years of making plans for a new theme park and Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow in Florida, Disney was diagnosed with lung cancer. At the age of 65, Disney died on December 15, 1966. After he died, Roy finished the plans of the Florida theme park, which opened under the name Walt Disney World in 1971 (Networks Television, n.d.).
The thing that Belle, Arial, Princess Jasmine and a handful of other Disney Characters all have in common is that they don’t have mothers. Is this about Disney’s own mother’s death? Is it to cause the characters to grow up faster? We, at Eccentric Magazine, challenge our readers to decide for yourself the next time you sit down to watch a classic Disney movie.

Deer tend to move at dawn and dusk. (Ross). Deer, mostly bucks, move at dawn and dusk whether it is 20 degrees out or 80 degrees out. Weather does not affect when they move during the day. If a hunter is going to head out to the stand, than dawn and dusk would be the times to make sure he or she should be in their stands. Deer can and will be shot during the day, but the best chance to catch a buck walking on a path by a stand would be when the sun just rises and when it is almost hidden behind the earth. Breeding season is a major affect to this cycle though making deer move all day when they are in rut. This is because a buck is trying to find a female and will be on the prowl for long periods of time. The reason for them moving at dawn and dusk more is because deer tend to feed more in the morning and in the afternoon. Studies by the QDMA, or Quality Deer Management Association, have shown that the deer they track have shown this sign to move early and late the most.
The second thing deer have a habit of doing is to form a “home”. This is a couple mile area where a deer spends about 90% of its time. This is a great thing to know because watching for deer throughout the year can help to figure out if any deer have made a home in the area. According to the article, “Behavioral Patterns of Whitetail Deer”, deer do of course take an almost vacation type trip at times too. It is impossible to predict when a deer will take this vacation, or how far it will travel on this vacation. A deer’s vacation can be anywhere from a month or two to a couple weeks. The only tricky part about a deer’s home is that a doe or buck would unlikely lay down in the same spot two consecutive nights in a row. This is to throw off any predators from just waiting for the deer to come back, so the predator doesn’t have an easy meal for the next couple of days. A deer will find several areas that are great for dosing off for a bit in this home area, but will never fall asleep for long periods of time. This keeps them alert most of the time. Deer usually feel comfortable in their home area, so if some deer tend to be seen in the same area all year it is most likely the deer made a home and feels more comfortable in this area rather than any other.

Inside The Minds of Deer
Deer have predictable minds. How they react to situations is worth planning for if deer hunting is a passion. Deer have schedules and tend to stick to them if they are not disturbed. When they are disturbed, they still tend to do the same things out of habits and teachings from their parents. Getting to know some ways of finding a deer, or even knowing how they will react when being shot at, can help a lot during this year’s shotgun season. Bucks have a tendency of falling on certain habits during specific situations.
Pressured bucks have an ability to change their habits on the spot. A pressure for them could be being shot at, or losing woodland areas to live in. The use of technology can show that deer have different habits at various times of the year. They might eat out in an open field during the summer, but when winter comes around, they might stay in the woods 24/7. Every buck has different traits, giving that deer a different lifestyle pattern. Another pressure could be how many hunters are on the land. Many hunters in one woods or area will affect how deer will go through those woods. Paths that deer walk on defer between primarily when it is cold out or even when it is warm out based on the deer’s habits. A path also could be a night path, meaning they only use it when it is dark outside. Predicting what a deer is going to do is close to the same to what the deer population, as a whole, would do under the same situations.

Everybody has a story
Everyone has a journey
We all have battles to fight, and the storm rages on
The devil never seems to let up
But my mistakes won’t define me
God wrote my story and he knows the journey
I will fight this battle on my knees, and praise him in the storm
Don’t give up, don’t lose faith and remember who saves
We all are a little broken
We all need a little help
Don’t hide away waiting for the storm to cease
Face it like you’re not scared
Because we don’t have to face it alone
God wrote my story and he knows the journey
I will fight this battle on my knees, and praise him in the storm
Don’t give up, don’t lose faith and remember who saves
The clouds will part and the sun will shine through
Beauty is all around, just look up and see the light
God wrote my story and he knows the journey
I will fight this battle on my knees, and praise him in the storm
Don’t give up, don’t lose faith and remember who saves
Inspired by true feelings and events of my own personal life. This song is about trying to find a way through this crazy thing called life. Sometimes it feels like there is no way out, but somehow, some way, we have to figure out how to pick ourselves up and move on. After all life keeps happening and time does not stop. It’s best if we can figure out to keep being strong through the tough times that come at us, and become better as a person so the next time life throws something in our face we are that much stronger.

Songs
Sometimes in life, we go through phases where we just are not sure what we are supposed to be doing. We wander aimlessly looking for answers, sometimes in all the wrong places. Mistakes eat away at our fragile beings to our breaking points. It is there we find who we really are and what we are made of. Brokenness has a way of putting us back together in a whole new way if we let it.
Fragile
Broken down without a way out
Wandering through a place I don’t know
Scared and bruised
Wounded but my heart is still beating, beating.
I am fragile, but I’m going to get up off this floor
This is not where I belong
Fight through this mess and pray to God he hears me
Cause this is bigger than me, much bigger than me
My strength will not be enough
I have done what I have done and
it is what it is
I can’t change the past, mistakes were made
But that doesn’t mean that’s who I am, this is not who I am
I am fragile, but I’m going to get up off this floor
This is not where I belong
Fight through this mess and pray to God he hears me
Cause this is bigger than me, much bigger than me
My strength will not be enough
It’s ok to not be ok
These scars can turn into beauty
Just let them turn into beauty
I am fragile, but I’m going to get up off this floor
This is not where I belong
Fight through this mess and pray to God he hears me
Cause this is bigger than me, much bigger than me
My strength will not be enough

The Reality of Living on the Road
Everyone believes that living your life on the road and playing music for a living is all great and perfect. Well, it is not. In fact, it is a very harsh, tough life; you spend hours driving, barely being able to pay for food, sometimes not even eating because you lack money, most of the time forced to have a job back home just to pay bills. When you are not living in a van then you’re living in a tiny, old apartment; or in some guy’s basement; or, if you are lucky, in your parent’s home.
Don’t get me wrong, it is a very enjoyable life experience and a great way to live. You feel so alive, play shows for excited crowds, and get to meet some really fascinating people. It’s just that you miss out on so many things the average person takes for granted, like living in one place, having a nice house, being able to shower every day, eating homemade food; the list goes on and on.
I can remember sitting in the back of a van after playing a show in a tiny Minnesotan town that was less than five miles south of the Canadian border. We had played a great show the night before, and played with some really cool bands. Nothing broke during the show, which was a surprise to all of us, usually we at least broke a string, or a chord, or our drummer would crack one of his symbols. After sweating through the show in a small, church that lacked even the slightest air conditioning, we went to the town’s little grocery store and bought some chicken which we devoured while sitting on a sidewalk under the faint light of a dim street lamp. We slept on the floor of a church that night, woke up in the morning, used the bathroom sink and a few paper towels for a shower, then packed up the van and drove to the next show. This time going to a festival with lots of other bands. They had been planning on having three stages that day, two of which were outside, but then it rained all day so we had to fit all the bands inside and play on one stage, every band quickly tearing down and helping the next set up. It was a huge delay in the festival and made it a much later night than anyone had planned on.
You see, bands and shows may seem like they always go as planned to the audience, but in reality they have many things that go wrong. Ask anyone that’s been in a band or is in a band, and they will tell you of all their shows that went wrong; all the crazy places they had to sleep in, or all the nights they have gone sleepless; and all the ridiculous things they have had to do simply to bring music to the public’s ears. By no means is being a traveling musician an easy life, but for most of us it is a life we enjoy and a life worth living.
I remember most of the crazy things my band and I did. One time we even had one of our ninety pound bass amps fall on our bassist, but he picked up the amp and kept playing the show with the sound guy desperately trying to stop his leg from bleeding. Our bassist went to the emergency room shortly after we finished the show and got multiple stitches, we took the saying “the show must go on” very seriously. It did not matter how little we had slept the night before, or how little we had eaten that day, or if we were hurt; the show had to go on. We were known for our fun and energetic shows, and even though most of us were legally adults we were looked at as the crazy kids who were doing it for the joy of it and to spread a positive message about our Christian beliefs.
I do realize that not all musicians have to go through this much work and struggle with so much, actually most big bands have it pretty easy, they get to sleep on a tour bus, have people that help them carry all their gear to shows, and for the most part live a fairly easy life. However, they do also lack most of the stuff that most common folks have, it is not an easy life for them or their families either. The ones I am talking about when I say they have it really tough are the ones that are not a large name in the music world, the ones who are there to play music but for some reason or another they never “make it” in the world of music, which are not very accurate words: I have seen bands that are thought of as nothing great, but yet they have such great music and such inspiring potential. What it all boils down to in this world is not if the music is well written or not, it is simply whether the public likes the music the band writes.
Is this right or is it wrong? I think it is neither because in reality, the public are the ones keeping bands on the road and playing music. We the people are the ones that make dreams come true. We have the power whether to say a band succeeds or fails simply by whether we choose to support them or not. Sure, it is a little harsh that non-musicians choose how successful a musician will be in life, but that’s just how it is.
The fact that non-musicians are the ones that choose the genres of music that thrive and the ones that die out is not unfair by any means. The whole point of musicians going on the road is to bring music to the public, we cannot choose which bands and genres they will like and which ones the will not. That is for them to decide because they are the ones we are bring the music to; they are the judges of our music. In essence, to be successful in the world of music is sadly not usually based on the quality of the music, but rather simply on whether or not the public will like it.
As you can see, being on the road is much harder than most think, and not only do you have hard living conditions and you have to write music that will interest the public, you also have to give people an example to look up to. I realize that a lot of people do not think that is a big part of it, even some musicians in bands do not realize how much of an impact they have on other peoples’ lives simply because they stand on a stage and play music. The words they say on stage and off stage some people will follow blindly simply because they think the musician is perfect. A lot of people don’t realize that people in bands are just people with nothing special about them other than that the public liked their band and made them famous.
I believe you now see why I say being in a band and bringing music to the public is not as most see it and it does not have all the glory most think it does. Not only do you have to deal with injury, lack of sleep, not having a place to call home, never having homemade food, and constantly traveling; but also you have to write and play music that the public wants to hear and you have to be able to take the stress of having people constantly looking up to you as if you are perfect. You see, life as a traveling musician is not a smooth and easy path; but it is not by any means a pointless, hopeless endeavor for one passionate about music.
