When a child is disregulated - is the time parents need to be regulated.

"Unexpressed feeling never die. They are buried alive and come back later in ugly ways." (Stephen Covey)

"Rules without relationship leads to rebellion" (Josh McDowell)

Early intervention is always better than crisis management - but it is never too late to do the right thing.

The mistake that Sharon and I both made is we never set any boundaries.  (Ozzy Osbourne)

What Do Most Doctors Say About ADHD ?

Quotes from the medical majority:

“To suggest that ADHD is a fraud, that somehow children are being abused by these treatments, is really an outrage because for these kids to not get treated is really the greatest abuse and neglect” (Harold Koplewicz M.D.)

“A disorder doesn’t have to have a blood test to be valid. If that were the case, all mental disorders would be invalid – schizophrenia, bipolar, Tourette’s – all would be thrown out. There is no lab test for any mental disorder right now in our science. That doesn’t make it invalid.” (Russell Barkley M.D.)

“We can now say with complete confidence that ADHD is a genetic disease and the brains of individuals with this condition developed differently that those of others.” (American Medical Association)
