After many years of feeling very uncomfortable prescribing stimulants for kids with "ADD" just because a psychologist told me to, I stopped 6-7 yrs ago. I always felt that I was letting down the child by prescribing a pill instead of teaching the kid and parents new skills and strategies.

One of my partners tried her son's Adderall and said, "Wow, I love this stuff! So much energy. I can get so much done." We would all thrive on amphetamines but caffeine is safer. I believe that much of "ADHD" in adults is multitasking and busy-ness.

ALL kids have issues with inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity! It is the normal state of toddlers. But kids must be taught self-control, self-discipline, etc.

John Rosemond is my parenting guru--traditional, no-nonsense, he sees the decay of modern parenting and the alarming results. In 23 yrs of being a pediatrician I increasingly agree with him.

There are some outstanding school teachers that recognize each child's learning styles, strengths, weaknesses, and who command respect from the kids, who have excellent classroom management skills, but too often parents share with me the problems of their kid not being challenged or helped or even taught the basics.

I can relate, fruit. Oh Hurshy, if he is energetic they'd want him medicated immediately. Crossy - our laws vary by state. Are Canada's uniform for the entire country?
9:26 am

i've seen some cautionary tales of people who 'home school' and never make their kids do things they don't want to do -- not into reading? fine. not into math? fine. How about the whole day playing video games? fine. It tarnishes the reputation of those whose kids become true learners.

Boys are the primary victims of the educational system. They are quickly labeled as having ADHD and meds are advised.

I volunteer a lot in our school now and am employed on .25 time basis but the kids know that when I say a teacher majors on 'lining up' that I'm unimpressed with the focus ;-)
9:28 am

10% of 11 yr old US boys are on meds for "ADHD."

I see most teachers as victims of the "system" themselves. It doesnt' matter how good they are if they are forced to "teach to the tests" and manage 30 distruptive kids.

That's awful, Crossy, sorry to hear that. But not everyone can do it. We have sacrificed a lot materially to be a one income family, and it's not easy.
9:31 am
Scrabbler

Human Resources depts have been challenged by so many undisciplined twenty-somethings that do not understand respect, responsibility, resourcefulness, etc.
9:31 am
fruittart

Amen, Krista. The pressure they face on test scores mean they focus on getting those borderline kids over the line and not challenging the ones above the line or intervening with those far below the line. I think our school does a far better job of that than many do or can. The area we moved into has more money than surrounding areas. Parents are hugely involved -- 100% turnout to parent-teacher night, etc. Makes a difference

10:17 am

Oh Sue that sounds like here - tear down the historic to build shlock!
10:17 am
crosshair

we are lucky here,we have a company that does nothing but build trusses to order.makes things so much easier on the job site,you can wait for a nice day,get the whole lot deliverd and have the roof and plywood up before sunset
10:18 am
hootowl

I thought od that one too
10:18 am

hopefully it won't be schlock - the existing library is on the national register of historic places but apparently it needs expanding, and a lot more parking (not obvious to me that it needs this but what do I know?)

our old one was just a run of the mill job sue as our canigie library burnt down many years ago,so it was an easy move

we are lucky here hoots,we set up a historical preservation society in the mid 80,and any historical building owner can get funds for 50% of any and all renovation/repair costs as long as he does not disturb or destroy the buildings historical qualities

indeed,we have preserved many fine victorian homes which otherwise would of been lost to "progress'

Theoretically we have one too but money is always a problem and they have no concept of Maintenance! They will let a building sit for yeays wih no one ever going in and then it's a big surprise that critters have moved in and the roof leaked, etc. Tear it down !

3:12 pm
Glantarell

house is sold Lyn. I've bought a little boring bungalow about 7 miles form work - move in on 21 Jan
3:14 pm
lynxxx

Congratulations! a house to call your own. I love how the English don't like bungalows - the most common form of housing out here - only over the last 20 or so years have tiny blocks and double stories become common
3:14 pm
crosshair

Well,it wiil only be borint till you make it your own
3:15 pm
lynxxx

hi Cross
3:15 pm
Glantarell

I don't mind bungalows but this was built about 40 years ago and is a square box with a party wall to another square box - but it needs absolutely nothing doing to it
3:15 pm

and yes, i will make it my own, and less boring

Well,i am sure wth lots of books,comfy places tosit and some knick knacks it wiibe home

i have made a momentous decision about my books - can hardly believe it myself - have decided to give away all my fiction except those by Terry Pratchett and Sherri Tepper
3:18 pm

3:19 pm
Glantarell

I only have room for my non-fiction - this is a pretty small bungalow and I am leaving a pretty spacious home

Please excuse the messier than usual typing as i am babbling on a tablet
3:19 pm
lynxxx

Do you reread book Glant?
3:20 pm
Glantarell

i have realised i rarely re-read fiction, because is start to read and remember the ending
3:20 pm
MollyL

Some books I can read over and over because it's not the ending so much as the telling of the tale.
3:20 pm
Glantarell

i have re-read a few books recently that i first read about 30 or more years ago and those I can enjoy ahgain, but there is a public library within easy waking distance of my new home so I shall just borrow the fiction i fancy
3:21 pm
crosshair

I never get rid of a book,thats why i am glad indeed they invented ereaders
3:21 pm
lynxxx

Time for it to go then. We lugged books form home to home for years. Now only keep the most special ones
3:21 pm
Glantarell

those are the ones I am keeping Molly - the ones I really enjoy the telling of the tale
3:21 pm
MollyL

That's what I keep too Glant. No point in keeping books around that I'm not going to read again.
3:22 pm
Glantarell

so i shall only have my old mahogany bookcase - about 3 ft wide by 6 ft tall - instead of that and my 'book wall' of about 8 ft wide and 6 ft tall
3:23 pm
Glantarell

that's a lot of books to get rid of :-(
3:23 pm

and what is worse is that nobody seems to want old books these dayhs

Right now, money and lack of vacation time make that a little difficult. But I have dreams.

I have finished the grid. Now I de 4/6 it necessary to do a story of clues for those who ne 4/5. When I got home from work, I was happy to open the do 4/5 of an empty house. That meant that I was fr4/7 to babble al 5/10 in peace. However, it was an er 5/10 on my part to think I could babble in peace. Hubby came home an hour later and was a he 4/5 as usual. He teased me and called me a do4/9 for babbling as soon as I got home. He has told me I've gotten do 7/48 as I get older. Then my husband accused me of dr5/12ing over men in the chat log.He ir 5/20 me so much, I wanted to kick him in the arse with my fo 4/7. I immediately logged off & began preparing fo 4/8 for our next me4/5 so we would not into a fight. Now he wants the laptop again, but I told him to take a hi4/9. He wasn't too ke4/8 on that idea,but he left the room. I don't care if I ir 4/5 husband. I of 5/16 give up the computer, but not this time. I'm here to stay for the night! Even if he comes back and pl4/5ds for computer, I'm not giving in. This is still the end of my story though. I hope that this has he4/6ed some of you. I am going to go change my ik 4/8,but I'll be right back to clue more.

Une, most of my relatives have died right around the Holidays dating back to before I was born (my maternal grandfather died on Dec. 26th while my Mom was pregnant with me). I've always considered it a blessing to have the memory of them with me through the holidays.
10:31 pm

a lot of people die during the holidays.. as it is important for them to enjoy the holidays with family and friends
10:32 pm

10:37 pm
Nef

My Mom die Jan. 8th (when I was 8), DH's grandmother died the day before Thanksgiving; his mother died Jan. 16th, my Grandmother died Nov. 29th; my Grandfather died Dec. 26th, etc. I just feel their presence at this time of year
10:38 pm

I 'd have to smoke 4 packs of cigs, drink a pitcher of manhattans, and gamble several thousand dollars to feel his presence
10:38 pm
Uneaixoise

ruru :-)
10:39 pm
rururocks

I'd rather have a nice salad and a glass of wine
10:39 pm

And it doesn't make me feel morose; it reminds me that these people played an important part of my life and they (or their memories) are still here with me
10:39 pm

10:42 pm
Nef

When I take out the Christmas decorations, I fluff up the squashed tin foil garland of my Moms; straighten up the wilting holly leaves of my Grandmothers'; try to touch up the faded ornaments that were DH's Grandmothers; and; once they are all on the tree; I can "see" them all with me again. (and yes, I am a sentimental old fogey too!)
10:44 pm
Uneaixoise

same here, nef -- i'm lucky to have lots of wonderful memories -- and I'll always remember my mom whispering "shhhh, I think I hear reindeer on the roof!"
10:46 pm
Nef

LOL! My uncle used to "shoot Santa" every year after midnight Mass was done. We'd have a houseful of company; and all of the cousins would rush down stairs hoping Uncle Chris didn't hurt Santa! :-)
10:46 pm

I like your memory better than mine, Une! :-)
10:48 pm
gapeach1066@yaho

I have lost my entire family. They are still living...I hope. My youngest daughter's husband attacked me in my wheel chair and I called 911...had MRI torn tendons in my arms and injured rotater cuff and some other things in my arms. I do believe he would have killed me if she had not been there. So, by calling 911 I lost my two daughters, two grandchildren and one great grandson. So the holidays are really rough. This all happened in 2009. Just when I think I'm over it....I'm not. My heart is broken.

Yes, I have friends here, that I met many years ago. They help me so much, but they have their own families too. I have two little dogs, so I won't be alone. And I have you all. God bless each of you.
