I am a Waldorf Mama and educator of special needs children. I live in Northern California. Thanks for synthesizing all the brain information. I was a zoology major in college and worked with Dr. Ted Goslow in 1983. I knew all this brain stuff and used it as a La Leche League Leader as the science has developed. I find it so fascinating that now we have the science to back Dr. Steiner's indications for education. My children are now 18 and 20. I have returned to school for my masters in special education. I am finding this so validating. Anyway I also work at the Berkeley Psychic Institute of Santa Rosa where we teach meditation and clearing energy, I feel your urgency in teaching people the tools to deal with the stress of modern life. Thanks for being there for children and their families! -Erin Brickner Just found your website and am really impressed. I am a Waldorf Mama and educator of special needs children.

I remember as a child feeling like my time was completely dominated by too many activities. I told my dad and he understood completely. One of the activities I loved was Boy Scouts. When I went away to summer camp, my dad told me, "Never mind getting the patches and awards, I want you to do all the stuff that you really enjoy; things you can't do every day. Go hiking, go to the archery range, make stuff, and have fun!" He was truly ahead of his time when it came to reducing stress for kids. He was a strong man who broke the cycle and provided the childhood he wish he had. He has been a huge inspiration to me as a parent and teacher, and I'm so grateful that I was able to see Dr. Melrose speak and validate my and my father's philosophy. Can't wait to read all of the books. Too much go-go-go with our kids. I remember as a child feeling like my time was completely dominated by too many activities.

I think this phenomena is happening in all the first world countries. What you were talking about in an American context relates very well to what I'm experiencing in schools here in Australila. Best wishes Fenella. Thanks for your outspoken comments and championing the beautiful children’s cause. I think this phenomena is happening in all the first world countries.

With all respect, I don't agree with everything you write or post. I have been dealing with adhd and Bipolar II, every since I was a child. Many times in school I had suicidal thoughts and poor grades. In my 30's I finally decided to get help! My father would not get me help for this disorder and insisted that there was nothing wrong with me. I now know better, and that we have a family history of this. My father has been married several time, dysfunctional and has some of the same symptoms as me. With people have really have adhd and and bipolar, certain materials in the brain are lacking, which can cause a person to go isane. I was always told that I was extremely intelligent, but wondered why my grades were so poor! Try going from a 2.0 to a 4.0! I have heard similar stories. What works for one person my not work for another. Tryleptal and adderall works wonders for me! I am glad that I finally got help because this has been very painful for me. Hearing voice with racing thoughts that don't exist, now you tell that this not a real problem! I went to several schools even a private Christan school! Eventhough I struggled with this, I believe that having this made me a better person and who I am today! Thank you for hearing my story! Michael Hardy Hi:
