A Mother’s Reminder

Reposted from May 2004

I’ve been really frustrated with Chris (9) lately. He seems so distracted lately and even when I give him simple instructions like “Go straight to your room” he dawdles along the way or forgets and sits down to play the piano. Yesterday it was just one thing after the other so today I began my ADHD search on the web. I came across this Bill of Rights for Misunderstood Kids. It’s something I’m going to blow up and have framed in my “school room” this fall! In the mean time, I’ll try to remember to read it often!

Well, I never did blow up that bill of rights, but with age Chris has matured. We still struggle with being distracted, but not as bad. Now my focus needs to be on my whiny ten year old. Lord, help me!

From the day I received my first diary in the second grade, I've had a passion expressing myself through writing. Later as a journalist and novelist, I realized words, if used powerfully, have the ability to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another. Today as a writing and health coach, I inspire others to live their extraordinary life and encourage them to share their unique stories.
