Is There More I Should Be Doing???

This is the question that haunts me night and day. I know it comes from my childhood and my basic fear that I won't do everything possible and my children will end up like me. I understand that my parents did their best. People didn't know that much about dyslexia and ADD back then. They believed schools when they said "she's just lazy". I swore I wouldn't do it to my kids, that I knew better and what to look for.

Now to my point. I was reading several blogs today and wonder if I should be doing more. The more I read, the more I realize that dyspraxia, dyslexia and ADHD are all associated with one another. I know it's genetic and that I am the carrier. I am now reading more and more about Omega-3 and fish oils and wonder if it's all true. I am also reading about how certain exercises or karate can help with dyspraxia or "clumsy child syndrome" which may be what is effecting Lauren. God knows she clumsy. Always tripping or falling. I always blamed it on the toe walking, but maybe there is more to it. I hope to know by the end of the month when we go back to the Neorologist. BUT I WANT TO KNOW NOW. Yes, I'm being impatient. I know there is more going on with Lauren. Part of me says I should stop doing research on my kids. I feel like a hypochondriac. Whenever I read more about how the three issues are linked it sounds like my kids.
