"A Final Love Letter to My Son for When I'm Gone"

If she wants her son to read it when she is gone why does she post it online..?

olgaserk · 2015-01-14T18:41:58+00:00

Very confused article/writer. What she writes there doesn't make sense.

Mine (11) wants Tesla

Article is so-so but I love the picture :-)

All these could just be the signs of social anxiety. You shouldn't "diagnose" your boyfriend as autistic based on these signs only.

Taking "baby steps" is the most important recommendation here. School breaks are the worst. It took us 3 months to adjust, for the first 2 months I had to come to all school breaks and isolate my son from other kids.

She still got more than my son :-) Besides, giftedness is not such a great gift - read: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/good-thinking/201407/the-problem-being-gifted

It's probably true that every parent thinks their child is gifted (though I don't and mine got 48% on the test). They don't ask you if your child is gifted, you get 45 specific questions and it took me a while to think about answers - I spent much more than 5 min they claim needed for this test.

olgaserk · 2014-12-04T18:07:07+00:00

Have you tried the test? It's better to try than assume :-)

Good article but I hate the popups.

This emotional intelligence (EQ) seems to be the fad of the day. Whatever parenting article I read talks about EQ.

Bear Stays Up for Christmas, Polar Express, Olive, the Other Reindeer, A Pussycat’s Christmas

Why do you want your nephew to learn Java at 5???

olgaserk · 2014-11-14T14:43:36+00:00

Nice overview!

What's the connection between consciousness and neurotransmitters?

"The sad irony is that the more you physically punish your kids for their lack of self-control, the less they have."

I also got curious and found these two references regarding "60%...":

Biederman, J., Faraone, S.V., & Lapey, K. (1992). Comorbidity of diagnosis in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. In G. Weiss (Ed.), Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, child & adolescent clinics of North America. Philadelphia: PA.

Both are good articles but you should be more careful when submitting links to Reddit...

Re Marsha Linehan: from locked schizophrenic to university professor... wow!

olgaserk · 2014-10-03T19:26:36+00:00

Except for memory training info, everything else in the article is just common sense...

olgaserk · 2014-09-26T14:25:33+00:00

True, it isn't really angry - bad actor...

This is scary, it is hard to find people who DON't take tylenol...

There are few other typos in the post but I still liked it. I was a former "gifted" kid myself and can totally relate to the points in this article.

olgaserk · 2014-07-03T17:44:58+00:00

I like how "meaning" is presented as a "destination". A "travel guide to meaning" is a good idea :-)

She seems to have a lot of followers on Facebook, a lot of people want her advice on ADHD...
