BARBARA'S TCHATZKAHS

Having a child with ADD, when you're not - can be a challenge. Trying to work with the NYC School System can be frustrating and rage-inducing. My child has been profoundly lucky to have teachers who really care and last year, one who is passionate about teaching and reaching the minds of all his students... No matter how far outside the box he had to reach. My child is dynamic, frustrating, creative, imaginative, crazy-making and infinitely charming, loveable and full of compassion. Last year, they designed their own Halloween costume, sketched it, helped me get the fabrics for it and gave it to their very resourceful and innovative Aunt - who painstakingly brought it to life. My Nana, of blessed memory, (who was a clothing designer and made 90% of my clothing for me until she passed in 1981) - would be very VERY proud. For them & my other friends and childrens' friends with ADD, I post this article: by Ben Goldfarb A few years ago, my wife was waiting patiently for me...

As the parent of a child with ADD and the aunt of an award winning, honor student with a form of autism -- I decry and loathe Savage's remarks...

NEW HOPE FOR KIDS: ADD/ADHD, ADDICTION, SOCIOPATHY...? Those who have read Just Like His Father? know that sociopathy is a disorder with a strong genetic basis . Science has further established a genetic link between sociopathy, addiction and ADHD. The children of sociopaths (and narcissists), therefore, carry genetic risk for sociopathy, addiction and ADHD. If a genetically at-risk child receives special nurturing during the developmental years, prior to puberty, he/she has the greatest chance to grow up free of these disorders. Lovefraud.com is collecting stories of psychological abuse and exploitation of children by sociopathic parents. If your child is the victim of the Family Courts and a sociopathic parent, please write with your story: donna@lovefraud.com READ THE FULL STORY - CLICK HERE PLEASE CLICK HERE TO JBLOG ME
