Can girls have ADHD? I thought it was just a "boy thing."

Yes, girls can have ADHD including the inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, and combined (difficulties with both inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity) presentations.

Boys are diagnosed with ADHD more frequently than girls; however, this likely does not accurately reflect the number of girls who actually have ADHD.

Don’t call us Grinch-y, but if you are out and about on warmer winter days, keep in mind ticks can be seeking a holiday treat. They’re searching for something, or someone, to bite any time winter temperatures are above freezing. Their bites can spread germs that make you sick!

Take steps to protect yourself and your family when enjoying warmer winter days. If you’re in grassy or brushy areas – or even your own backyard – you can be at risk.

☑️ Always use EPA-registered insect repellent when outside.
☑️ Perform tick checks when coming back inside.

12/15/2025

At this age kids’ thinking has matured and they are more logical. They may still want to see death as something that is reversible, but they are beginning to understand that it is final.

School-age children tend to ask specific questions and have a desire for detail. They may also be concerned for how others are responding to the death. They want to know what the “right” way to respond is, and are beginning to have the ability to mourn and to understand and recognize mourning in others.

Despite their more logical thinking they may become overly fearful of sickness and injury because they don’t quite understand the mechanisms by which people die. Kids can also get fixated on why someone died, especially if it violates their logical principles of right and wrong. Under both of these circumstances try to help children develop an explanation for the death that makes sense to them. When they get older they can begin to understand the loss in a more sophisticated way.
