Understanding Molly

By Kelly-Anne Norman

'Imagine being trapped on a swing during a windstorm. Your anger and frustration propels you back and forth. Faster and faster. You want to get off, but you're not strong enough, big enough or quick enough. Holding on becomes impossible, draining you of any energy you have left.'

These are all emotions young Molly feels - and more - as she tries to navigate her way as a middle child with ADHD (Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) and ODD (Oppositional Defiance Disorder).

Her emotions often get the better of her, much to the dismay of her parents, siblings, teachers and friends, but she's determined to find a way to master her negative impulses.

Her journey is complicated, with several false starts and roundabouts. At times, it all seems too difficult.

Will her determination be enough to get her there?
