If you take a Golden, or a Sheltie, or a Collie for obedience training how long do you think it will take for the trainer to start getting results? A few days? A week or two?

Now switch over to taking a nasty ass Rotwieler or Pit bull That shows strong traits of being head strong, and see what you get!

Now put this in perspective and think of the child that has ADD or ADHD and put your self as being the parent of the child that has this misfortune, (Notice I did not reference the parent! This isn't about the parent, IT IS about the CHILD!). For all the frustration the parent might feel, TRY to think of what it is to the child! absent of the skills of understanding or having a clue of what is going on that feeds the anxiety being felt.

Does the trainer strike the animal to get compliance? Does he Hit it? Or attempt to get it to fear him/her?

Compliance is gained by consistent messages, and PREDICTABLE consequences, along with nurture and guidance and reward/acknowledgement of compliance! For what takes maybe a few weeks or a month for the Golden/Sheltie/Collie IT mat take several months or longer to get trustworthy obedience from the PitBull/Rotwieler.

DON'T be giving the kid a bunch of medications and denying it the opportunity to learn accountability and responsibility unless it is absolutely necessary.

IOW get off your lazy ass and MAKE the needed investment! Raising a well adjusted child is a responsibility, NOT an obligation! It asks for your participation and investment. IF you happen to have a child that is more difficult than many others SO BE IT! It isn't about you, it is about the child!

Step up to the plate and be that child's HERO! And you will reap rewards beyond what you ever imagined.

Now on to another dimension. Children are borne 'Biological', That is the come into life with propensity to behave and respond in their own unique ways. A propensity is a 'leaning towards' if you will. It is simpler or more easy to go there than not to. For one it easier to cry, for another it easier to laugh, for another it is easier to just be still. This is EVIDENT from the moment the baby takes it's first breath of air! And will often follow this pattern of reaction as it continues to grow. This is where good parenting skills come to play.

To recognize and to guide/nurture the little one to be adoptive of different ways that will later better serve it's best interest.The amount of investment the parent/guardian will need to make will sometimes vastly vary from child to child. In some instances even when the are genetic twins.

Again, having and raising children brings with it a degree of responsibility that many parents are not prepared to deal with.

There will continue to be much more to follow.
