It took me 8 months also to get my son something official at school. He has finally been approved for a 504 but was denied special education. If I had not submersed myself in the laws and process and what my son is entitled to, I am not sure I wou...

Then I went ahead and purchased a copy of the Writer's Market (2009).
Next, I bookmarked every writing site in Delicious bookmarks to refer ...
We went the meds route after much discussion, research and soul searching. My son was manageable except that he was failing miserably in school (1st grade). We decided to try to meds and weigh the benefits, if he experienced any, and make a final ...

Hi!

My 6YO, 1st grade son was diagnosed with ADHD 11/2008. His behavioral specialist MD calls him "mild ADHD" -- I was actually having him evaluated for learning disabilities because he was having a lot of trouble in school. We went through very bad r...
This is a support group for mothers dealing with children with ADHD. Its a long hard road and no one should have to deal alone..Come here for support, tips, or just to get away from it all.
It's been a few days since I've been on TwitterMoms and I was just catching up. It turns out this Tuesday I blogged about one of my ADHD son's abilities. It is something I certainly want to focus more on!

I love the relevancy an "real" factor of your blog. I would agree that there's a lot going on visually. I captured your RSS feed so I can follow you. I didn't see it until the bottom of the page though -- I would move it front and center. I'll be ...

Hi Penny,
Welcome to Raising Kids w/ a Conscience. I just read your piece about your son dismembering Lego men. i have a non ADHD son who loves playmobile and refuses to keep their hats or hair on - I think he likes to have clear view of their face.
Gum chewing piece also interesting.
Cheers,
Roz
