I keep coming back to the same conclusion: The right school can make a WORLD of difference in your student’s life. I want to go out on a limb here and say that it is better to blow that college fund on a great middle/high school than to hang onto that money. The foundation of self-esteem & love of learning is cemented early. Be vigilant about your child’s school! If you’ve got a great school – tell us about it!

Whether you have ADHD or not, the process of personal development & growth is not a walk in the park. Why? Because most of the memorable, life-changing lessons, hurt. But the resulting eduction is usually invaluable. “Any process you are going through will get tougher before it gets easier. That’s what makes learning a gift. Even though pain is your teacher.” Which movie?

The key thing to remember is that if you do learn the lesson that life is trying to teach, in that particular area of your life, things do become more clear and you start responding to situations in a powerful, life-affirming way instead of being destructive. What is life teaching you now?
