Thursday, July 16th, 2009Welcome back!I really did almost snap earlier this week, and it was not my kids
fault. You might say it was brought on by my children, but stepping back I knew it was all on me.
I was the one who was getting easily frustrated. I was the one who was having a hard time with my [...]

Teach Your Children To Dream
Saturday, January 17th, 2009Earlier today on Twitter,* I was having a conversation with a friend who I really admire. I don’t know if he realizes his impact on me, but it’s actually really inspiring to find wisdom from a 13-year-old boy who runs his own company.

ADHD And The Doctor: Getting Diagnosed
Friday, January 16th, 2009A lot of people ask, “How do I know if my child has ADHD?”
That’s a decent answer, but I think it’s the wrong approach. Whether or not we think of this, doctors are ordinary people just like you and me. Heck, I have a “Dr” before my name and I can guarantee you that I [...]
Medication Begets Medication: What Are We Overlooking?
Friday, January 2nd, 2009Medication… Medication… Medication… Oh how you frustrate me! You promise great and wonderful things, yet I am very skeptical about the unrealistic expectations you imply. From ads on television to magazine pages — I can’t help but wonder your intentions.

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008I’ve talked a lot about “finding the right supports,” but until now I’m not sure I have ever gone in-depth about who or what the right supports are. Now — I’ve actually avoided this for a very specific reason. I cannot tell you who the best supports are for anyone other than me.
Sure — I [...]
ADHD Success Tip: What If They Were Wrong?
Friday, October 17th, 2008There is likely nothing more frustrating than following the advice of someone who thinks they know what they are talking about, but clearly do NOT!
Even those with good intentions can get it wrong. Be careful who you believe and what advice you follow — especially if your gut instinct tells you otherwise.
But most importantly — [...]
Tomorrow May Be Too Late
Friday, October 17th, 2008This morning I was speaking with a colleague about ADHD and how to I approach my work with families and children. During that conversation, we touched upon the idea of living a deferred lifestyle, or waiting until the right time!
I spent a great deal of my life waiting for the right time. Eventually [...]
Throw ADHD Out The Window
Wednesday, October 15th, 2008This might go against what most people tell you, but watch this short video to see just what I am talking about:
