ADHD’s Genetic Link: 5 Implications for Organizing ADD/ADHD Children – by Cheryl Carter
“The Lancet medical journal recently revealed that ADHD children have a gene that predisposes them to ADHD. Their “findings provide genetic evidence of an increased rate of large CNVs in individuals with ADHD and suggest that ADHD is not purely a social construct.” In a nutshell, the presence of CNV proves that ADHD is not the result of poor parenting, unstructured environment, too much sugar or a myriad of other reasons. This research proves what many have known all along — that ADHD may run in families. This has far reaching implications for families with ADHD.

Deborah Plummer on Imagework and Helping Children to Cope with Change, Stress and Anxiety
“When a child comes up with an image that represents how he feels about a situation, he is tapping into something that goes way beyond logical thought processes.
