Kandi I cried when I read you mailing about your daughter. I have to be careful about attaching emotion to an email (or so I have read) or being 'defensive and angry' Although I can never understand what is wrong with defending oneself or being angry, But it is such a lovely story. I cannot help thinking how many geniuses are out there, unidentified and labelled as a 'problem child' I love ADD kids, they are so bubbly, bright, creative and so on, I have said all this in a previous mailing. For me Ritalin most certainly has its place but only when it goes hand in hand with a responsible diagnosis and a well though out care package that supports the child the parents and the environment within which they all exist, i.e.: home and School Great news Diana %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
