Yay! We can win his & hers this year!

Youth and Family Counseling is a great 501(c)3. Not directly aviation related, but they do great work and their director is working on her PPL. And I can promise you, she does not get paid much at all! :D www.youthandfamilycounseling.org

I agree with you. I would be the perfect person to win this year! ;) :yes: :D

Well THAT explains the bottomless kid in her class! :lol:

I received a resume a couple years ago for a position at my agency as one of my licensed counselors. This woman had her Master's degree, and yet the email on top of her resume started off as "partygirl." Delete! I didn't even bother giving her a helpful hint on creating a professional one. If...

I did not mean to imply that I believe ADHD is caused by bad parenting. Not sure if you were referencing my comments or not. I do believe that, for some kids with ADHD, consistency and structure from the parents can improve some of the behavioral issues that the children present with. At least...

Good point. Oh well, I still have you to defend me, right? Right?!?

Don't stop cold turkey. You have to wean off SSRIs, and you should do it under a doctor's care. This is what I was told: You have to be on Zoloft for a year before they will consider approving your medical, or off of it for 6 months. I'll share my story: I was on Zoloft, and I went in for my...

I was kidding too. It takes way more to offend me. :yes:

HEY!!!!!!!!! :mad:

Uh, yeah. I think I've just justified a major shopping spree for myself.

Well done, Henning. I choked on my coffee with this one. :lol:

Wait a minute!!! :mad: You don't even drink soda.

Nothing wrong with short! I'm 36 and 5'2". I'm up to 120, but I was about her size -maybe a bit shorter at 13 -and turned out just fine. :yes: Bryan mentioned this a little bit, but we have a niece who is ADHD. Her mom is too. Mom really didn't want her on meds, and tried to do without for...

I'm not a teacher or school counselor -I had a unique position in that I was a licensed counselor at a high school, on staff to do crisis counseling (dealing with everything from rape to bullying to suicidal kids) -so I am not an expert on special ed by any means. My understanding is that the...

Thank you. It's interesting, as the desire to label kids and get them under the Special Ed or 504 umbrella is not something I have seen here in Texas with the three districts I have been privy to. Parents seem to have to fight long, hard, and loud to get services for their kids, even if they...

I'm not talking about your personal experience. I do believe there are teachers that would prefer a child be medicated so that they behave better in class. And let me reiterate that my experience is not "stories told by others" either, but in fact one that I've come to by working as an...

Please show me some type of legitimate stats or proof on this. It goes against everything I've seen in over a decade of working with children's mental health and many years with school districts.

I too haven't seen schools that get extra money for kids with diagnosable issues. The districts I have worked with seem to try NOT to label students, as it usually means more cost and work for them if they have to provide them with assistance if they are labeled special ed or 504. I have had to...

We've walked it about 5 times, give or take. Once with about 20+ other pilots.
