[QUOTE="keista, post: 458861, member: 11965"] This is in no way, Malika's fault. I don't think any of us are even implying that. However, Malika is living in a very unique culture which is much more difficult to navigate with a difficult child. If it's not France in general, it certainly is the village in which they live. No, ADHD kids have not been "farmed out" to other countries, but the genes have. When anomalies crop up, they are hidden and, more than likely, dealt with inappropriately. Malika does not have this cultural mindset so is advocating as best as she can for her son. The Lutheran school and lice example was a good illustration. "lice" is NOT acceptable so will be hidden or ignored in this small subculture despite the fact that the larger culture understands that it "happens to the best of us" [B]Malika[/B], the fact that the teacher is aware of studies linking a mother's depression with a child's hyperactivity means that she is "up on things" (I had to look it up myself since I had never heard of such a thing) I'd focus my energy more on trying to figure out what strategies will actually help J as opposed to convincing her of his diagnosis [/QUOTE]
