Several years ago I developed a short paper and pencil screening test which, in a small pilot study, discriminated between ADHD, LD, and control subjects. I recently converted this test to an online test in order to norm it to a larger population and, subsequently, to make it available to any one...

My 12 year old is getting poor grades in school because she doesn't turn in her homework (class work and tests are fine). The homework organization has been an issue since forever, and we've tried everything. Any suggestions?

Anyone been through this? My seventh grader found out yesterday that she's been assigned to a new teaching team. Our area has huge population growth, and they've hired two new seventh grade teachers (taking the school from 12 to 14 7th grade homerooms). They randomly chose the students to be...

I have two boys and a girl. They all like different foods. I insist on making them the same thing, which is often a battle but getting easier since I have not back downed once. I want to know if anyone has any kid- friendly dinner and/or suggestions for finicky kids. I am concerned about protein...

My son is entering 8th grade this year. He's always been an uneven student, shining in some favorite subjects (won the school's geography bee one year!), and sliding by in subjects he doesn't like so much. His teacher, and folks who are around him day to day, say he's fairly bright. Where I see...

My 7 year old (almost 8) is just driving us nuts by his absent mindeness - I mean the type of behavior where we ask him to put on his shoes, 5 min later we remind him, he still is playing around and then 5 min later we remind him and by the fourth time, I lose my patience and raise my...

Early this morning, my 3 year old son got the tip of his...ahem...wee-wee...smushed by a falling toilet seat. He is not circumsised. The tip is now bright red, swollen and there was blood this morning. He used the bathroom after it happened with much tears and was very fightened. I have been...

It's difficult for me to believe that there has been zero traffic on misc.kids.moderated regarding Hurricaine Katrina, when practically every other on-line forum (web or usenet) has had so many messages. In any case, considering Katrina's aftermath, I was wondering what people's disaster...

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It's getting a bit tiresome seeing one misguided American after another with their cutsie little yellow or red-white-blue ribbons on their outsized SUVs. Yeah, I guess it's the thing to do; maybe part of that whole soccer-mom culture. Unfortunately,...

I was recently offered a job over 1300 miles away but I'm not going to move there. I want the job and my family understands, but I've never been in a situation with a "1000-mile commute". I have one six-year-old. This job would allow me to save money so I can spend more time with him when he's...

I don't know what the proper description of these pictures is, but they are like those in the book "Wacky Wednesday" by Dr Seuss. I am looking for some of those drawings of a scene with absurd things in it, ie, a table with 3 legs and a dog with tv antennae on his head. The child has to look at...

I have two teenage boys, twins actually, age 14. Over the summer they have been responsible for cooking dinner for their siblings one a week (each). Unfortunately this experience has turned into a "how little can I do" exercise. I am looking for suggestions about how to get them to be...
