Wildberry Productions (WBP) launched the WBP Children’s Literacy Program in February 2008. As proud supporters of reading and writing for children, Wildberry Productions is encouraging children and youths to write about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Asperger 's Syndrome (Autism), Tourette Syndrome, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Depression and Anxiety. Chosen works submitted by children and youths are displayed on our website. 

Wildberry Productions is also committed to supporting children’s education. Through the WBP Children's Literacy Program, Wildberry Productions will visit schools and present the process (step by step) behind the creation of our children's books to students. This activity is interactive, fun and stimulates interest in writing and individual creativity. Invite us and find out how fun writing a book can be! 

The following contributors are students from W. E. Miller School and were chosen by Wildberry Productions for their wonderful creativity on the subject of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Wildberry Productions is proud to share these fantastic writings. Congratulations to those who were selected and a big thank you to all who participated! Scroll down to see all the writings.

Look at the Boy

By Jessica

This little boy doesn’t always say please,

He doesn’t always listen,

It’s hard to focus, he’s never at ease,

But in his eyes I see a glisten.

In his face there is joy.

Look past the behaviour and,

See the little boy.

He is always moving,

He wiggles like a worm.

At school he is improving,

He’s trying not to squirm.

In his face there is a joy.

Look past the behaviour and,

See the little boy.

He sometimes gets discouraged,

When people don’t understand.

But then he gets encouraged,

He loves the helping hand.

In his face there is a joy.

Look past the behaviour and,

See the little boy.

The Definition of ADHD
By Jamie

ADHD is malfunction in the brain which affects the childs ability to control there behavior.

Some children at the age of two need help controlling there daily routines.

Kids with ADHD have a hard time listening, and can be very active.

Also they tend to talk a lot, and can’t sit still.

Children with ADHD have a hard time paying attention in class because of distract ions in the background.

When crossing the street the kid with ADHD will cross without looking.

What do I Think about ADHD

By Tessie

I never had a friend with ADHD before although people who have ADHD are different, we still have to treat them with kindness and show respect they were meant to be born to be loved not to be unkind to because if you don’t treat them properly you are being a bully not to regular people but to people who have ADHD.

So the message is we have to be kind to people who are different, with kindness, love, and respect because they need friends to theyre just a bit different that’s all nothing else they are just like us they are humans just like you and me, and they need somebody who really cares like students from W.E. Miller School.

ADHD

By Amanda

Do you have ADHD? If not, I have it so I am going to give you some tips on how to recognise it if you have it. I just discovered I have ADHD when I was nine years old. I got told that it runs in the family. My dad has it, my grandma has it, my mom has it, my two step brothers have it, and now I have it. Here are somethings that you will notice about me, yourself and other people.

If you see those signs you will know that you have or might have ADHD. The first thing you might notice is that you think slow and it will take a while for us to remember things.

Another thing is that that we will be asking for a lot of things, much more than a person without ADHD would.  An example of getting that sign is if you are in class and you have an assignment. I find that we wouldn’t be able to put everything on paper as fast as we would like to.

One other thing is that we are very disorganised with our desks or anywhere! Even when I go to my grandma’s house I can’t keep the room I am sleeping in clean for one night! The bedroom was crazy! Chocolate rappers on the floor, a broken bed, clothes everywhere and one mad grandma! Yikes! This sis scary! I don’t know if I can do this! Do you even get like that? Well that is how I react to scary things also called panic attacks. For example, I was downhill skiing the other day and I looked down from the Bunny Patch. It actually looked like I was going down Mount Everest.

Oh man! Five more minutes still! How more boring can this day get? This is how I react to being bored. Here is an example that actually happen to me. I was in class, I just finished my second book and I was bored out of my head! It looked to me that other people were still focused, but I was still on the moon! Then I asked my teacher to do something else, and he asked me if I could wait five more minutes. So, I spent the last five minutes putting my head on my desk! Now you can see how some people can react to ADHD as I did writing this.
