How I Learned the True Meaning of Strength After My Son’s Death

Intimacy is a very, very, in-depth aspect of our humanity. It digs deep into our core, connecting us with others, and for some people, this is not an easy feat.Some of us find intimacy to be not even just difficult, but profoundly terrifying. Of course, there are several legitimate reasons why intimacy can be scary.

It helps to jot down a few things you feel grateful for each morning and evening. Before you even have your morning cup of coffee, getting in the right mindset for the day ahead is essential. Expressing your gratitude on paper will help you see everything you have and shift your perspective.

It seems like a gracious and genuine gesture for leaders in executive, senior, or supervisory roles everywhere. Extending a policy to their team that invites them to knock on their door to express concerns at any time they feel compelled to still feels like a forward-thinking servant leadership practice, and that’s probably why it’s still so popular.It’s a check-in-the-box tactic that makes the leader seem engaged, concerned, and willing to listen. Perhaps that’s true and the leader genuinely is all of those things.

Even though setting intentions is vital in manifesting what you want, it is only half the work. This is evidenced by how not everyone who sets intentions attains them. Many people set intentions, but few live the intentions they set.

Dissociation has been a special interest area since my own dissociative disorder diagnosis in 2002. Clinically, dissociation simply means disconnection between thoughts, memory, expression, and identity. In short, dissociation is anything that removes you from the present moment. The ability to dissociate is one that everyone has. In its mildest form, dissociation is “daydreaming” — an altered state of consciousness in which you are both aware and not, simultaneously.

I recently saw a meme that pointed out the red flags in a relationship, such as getting rid of friends and family; financial control; insisting on knowing whereabouts; gaslighting; intermittent reinforcement; and, of course, physical, sexual, verbal, or emotional abuse.

Millions of grandparents today are directly involved in raising their grandchildren — a caregiving situation that disproportionately impacts ADHD families. A 2020 study published in Pediatrics found that children living in grandparent-led households are more likely to have ADHD than are children living in parent-led households.1Here’s what grandparents told ADDitude about what it’s like to care for their grandkids with ADHD, including their biggest challenges, surprises, and insights on the generation gap.“As a grandparent, I don’t fit in with anyone my own age because my peers’ children are all grown up, and parents of our grandkids are young.

December 11, 2019White teachers are more likely to attribute a Black boy’s behavior to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and to rate those behaviors as severe than are Black parents, according to a new study published in the Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology1. The study, conducted by researchers at the University of Massachusetts, demonstrated that White teachers are more likely to ascribe Black boys’ behavior to ADHD and to assign them higher scores on the Vanderbilt Assessment Scale for ADHD than are Black parents.

Q: My child has been diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD. How do I talk to them about both conditions?ADHD and dyslexia commonly appear together and are highly treatable.

Breakups cut deep in the ADHD heart. Our rejection sensitivity intensifies the hurt of being dumped nearly to the point of physical pain. We’re also prone to obsessive thinking.

By now, you’ve heard of “The Talk.” This is how the parents of African-American children explain the racial “facts of life” to their sons and daughters.It is the greatest joy — and the greatest burden — to bring children into the world. The challenges of parenthood multiply with Black children; more so when they have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD or ADD). How we handle those challenges can make the difference between success or failure for all kids.

Mid and North Powys Mind has been running an LGBTQ+ peer support group since 2017. The group was set up after a need was identified to provide a safe, supportive space for people who identify as LGBTQ+ to meet with peers, enabling people to discuss the issues they were facing that were impacting on their mental health, reducing isolation and improving people’s sense of wellbeing.  Initially the group met monthly, increasing to once a fortnight quite quickly, on request of the members."The group were passionate about reducing stigma and ensuring that those who needed it were able to access support."As a peer led group, members wanted to raise awareness about being LGBTQ+ in Powys and help reduce the stigma that is attached and ease the effects of minority stress.  The group invited the local Police LGBTQ+ liaison officer to speak, which created good links and promoted safety.  The group also went to film showings and discussed specific topics requested by group members.

What comes to mind when you envision neglect? If you are like most people, you probably see the worst-case scenario, in which a parent who malevolent entirely neglects and even abuses their child, however, the most common neglect comes from people who likely do not even realize what they are doing is neglect.These parents love their children, and they may even strive to be the best parents they can be, but for whatever reason, they end up carrying out their parenting in a way that negatively impacts their kids. You can be well-meaning but neglectful as a parent.We all make mistakes, that much is true. The thing is, when you make a mistake in parenting, you are not the only one who pays for your mistakes.

Before I became a mother, when I saw a spoiled child at the supermarket, pitching a fit over a candy bar, screaming and yelling until their parents gave in, much like a hostage negotiator, I always said “that will never be me.” Fast-forward a few years, and now here I am, dealing with my spoiled child.Don’t get me wrong, I love my child, but one of the most embarrassing things in the world is a public tantrum. Not only is it embarrassing, but it is also very overstimulating, so before it is all said and done, I honestly am so tempted to just give in. If I am being honest, I did give in for a while, until someone made a statement that floored me.

“That’s not fair!” “You can’t make me!” “You are the MEANEST mom ever!” If this sounds familiar, you are not alone.Back talking is one of the biggest parenting complaints among parents, and for good reason. There is nothing more frustrating than trying to get your child to listen to you, only for them to respond with back talk. When this happens, you may have a lot of things you want to say.
