New Study Suggests A Possible Connection Between ADHD And Pesticides
Monday, May 17th, 2010For a long time now, there has been great concern, speculation, and rumor that ADHD might be caused (or at the very least contributed to) by certain pesticides used to grow and manufacture our foods.
While the medical community has so far said “no,” today we hear otherwise from a newly published study in the Journal [...]
Lessons From An Easter Egg Hunt
Sunday, April 11th, 2010There I was watching my children in the middle of their first ever Easter Egg hunt when their differences jumped right out and smacked me in the face. My 2 1/2 year old son and my 4 1/2 year old daughter couldn’t be more different. (Some clearly more obvious than others):
Gender…
Age…
Thinking…
Concept…
Understanding…
Perspective…
Determination…
Intention…
It was all [...]
ADHD Parenting: Don’t Hide Behind Who You Are
Sunday, April 4th, 2010I think one of the biggest problems or obstacles facing children and families affected by ADHD is this prevailing idea (by society at large) that these individuals are broken and need to be fixed. This really kills me… And it drives me BONKERS!!!!!
But that’s just the surface issue that we need to worry about. What [...]
ADHD Stereotypes and Expectations
Thursday, April 1st, 2010I think it’s safe to say that there are some pretty powerful stereotypes about ADHD? And I don’t think I’ll offend anyone by saying that there are a lot of people who have certain expectations of people once they hear the words “ADHD.”
But what if we there was a quick and easy way to [...]
ADHD Parenting: Being Alone Is Dangerous
Thursday, March 25th, 2010To many of my readers it’s been no secret that the last six months have been a challenge. I struggled with a lot of intense feelings, and pulled back from a lot of what I do and what I like to do. I isolated myself and it led to disaster. I wish I could say [...]
I Almost Snapped…
Thursday, July 16th, 2009I 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 patience.
No [...]

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.
Yep – that’s right!!! Go ahead and take a second to re-read that [...]
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 [...]
