Interesting how if Winston Churchill were a child today he would be a prime candidate for Ritalin or Concerta or Strattera ... or whatever ADHD drug is out there. So would the likes of Werner Von Braun, Richard Branson, Charles Schwab, Thomas Edison, John F. Kennedy, and all sorts of brilliant men who made their mark on the world.
The increase in drugging children for being "out of the normal template" is a crime and tragedy. Indigo children are especially prone to being poisoned because of their inner authority, independance, and innate intuitive instinct for deception they are more than willing to speak out against. The only difference between a prescription and a poison is dosage. Younger and younger children are being drugged because their parents blindly believe a doctor. Medical intervention is a neccessity but no drug is a cure all magic pill. A prescription is just one line of defense is treating a condition. Cognitive therapy and other psychological methods can address what a drug cannot. It is a multi-line of defense.
This book is a wonderful tool for parents who want to know the alternative to a drug. I can't sing its praises enough. Drugging a child is a mask for emotional problems that are the root of problem behavior. And really ... it's a parent's duty to fight for their child. I recommend this book for all the mothers and fathers who want to do all they can to bring out the best for the son or daughter who needs them.
The next time someone says a child is difficult ... try to see the other side. Brilliance has its beauty and its rambucious side.
