Stepping Off The Track

CO, NYC, Chicago, Dominica, Fl, Vermont and NOW staying put for awhile in LA!
We have 2 boys, who are homeschooled, and like all parents we want to support any passions we see arise. Well, they both have a passion to perform. Our older son Keean, on a crazy whim auditioned and got a role in the Broadway Musical "Billy Elliot"! So we sold almost everything (house included) and left our fantastic 15yrs in Colorado and headed to the BIG APPLE! We have been on the move ever since and consider ourselves an everyday family embracing life the best we know how. We tend to do things a little against the grain, but learning all we can along the way! Here's to sticking together as a family and creating an amazing adventure along the way!

ADHD....What To Do?

I must say after watching these clips I was a little disappointed?  Did anyone see the whole show? We did not see the whole show due to the fact we do not have TV, but my mom saw it and was really disappointed with the treatment of the single, homeschool mom. After watching these clips, I can already see how this interview must have gone. And seeing some of the comments it looks to me that the drug companies have won out! This makes me very sad. I am not against using medication, but I believe there are many alternatives before having to go down that road. My two boys without a fact would have been diagnosed with ADD/ ADHD and then some, but that to me is what makes them unique. Has it been easy? Were there times that I would like to pull my hair out? Absolutely! But who said parenting was easy. Please watch these videos and go on Anderson and comment. Maybe if enough of us speak out there will be more and more people out there wanting to try another way. A pill will not fix everything. Some of us are meant to be different and go about life against the grain!
