Get Kids Out Of The Cross Fire - Gary Direnfeld, MSW, RSW September 27th, 2004
Often children experience their parents stress and this wreaks havoc with their ability to concentrate and attend to the demands of school. This side effect of the parental dispute is sometimes used to support a claim of one parent as better than the other. As such, it is very important to separate issues of children’s distress from necessarily being caused by one parent versus a consequence of the structural situation in which they live.
ADHD and Adoption - MNASAP September 27th, 2004
ADHD brings the nurture vs. nature debate to the adoption floor. A genetic pattern of multigenerational transmission of ADHD has been documented, as well as a high incidence among children born in a crisis. The crisis may be generational and connected to addiction, depression and/or abuse. While genetic influences may
offer cause-effect explanations to the diagnosis, environmental factors may also be at play.
Just Give Us The Opportunity - V.S. September 27th, 2004
When I turned 22, I finally got up enough nerve to find my mother. I was curious about what she really looked like - did I have her eyes, did I tilt my head the same way she does when I'm thinking about things, did I have any siblings? Just curious things. Well, when I approached the social service, they told me she (my birth mother) had been looking for me as well. All they had to do was the Social Sercurity Search to validate the information.
When I Was Your Age... - Emil Baldwin Jr., LSW September 27th, 2004
Our expectations for ourselves, our children, and for life in general are all very personal statements about our history and our goals for the future. Each "piece of the puzzle" is a combination of our conscious desires as well as the hidden influences from family, friends, and society. If born from your personal goals and dreams, these expectations can become beacons of inspiration to those around you.
