We, as adults, have a duty to teach children how to be confident, responsible, compassionate citizens. This means that sometimes their wants will be at odds with our agenda, because we're all born self-centred. I agree, ADHD isn't actually a disease, its a condition, and labelling children can be unhelpful, perhaps even detrimental in some cases, but I am also a big believer in the need for children to be aware of their own peculiar ways and how that affects others, as well as the effect on their own progress. I had a student who was 'diagnosed' Oppositional Defiance Disorder, and it was clear to me that he simple struggled to live up to the expectations he thought his parents had of him, compared to his older, very successful siblings. As I worked on bringing out his own confidence, while insisting he must work with instead of against me, I saw a transformation begin to take place. As a parent myself, there are many times I have to insist my child do as I say, whether she understands or agrees or not. My experience tells me what she needs to learn and this guides my decision making. Sometimes there is room for negotiation and sometimes my authority is the most important factor, in giving her a sense of safety. After all, if I'm not steering this boat, who is? I hope this answers your question, Chris!Dawn Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08277713867441589878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4769872905604154990.post-33735333625447959082015-12-24T02:36:05.624+11:002015-12-24T02:36:05.624+11:00Hi Dawn, thanks for sharing this article.

It's a wrong label to children when we as adults force them to do what they don't want to do. What's your opinion on this?

A similar experience captured my imagination. While touring a miso factory outside Tokyo, I learned that miso ferments in huge vats, their wooden lids held in place by an artful set of smooth round stones stacked and balanced carefully to suppress the boil and bubbles below. An apprentice labors a full decade to learn the art and craft of balancing round stones. He demonstrates the attributes you celebrate: love, skill and tenacity. Thanks for inspiring me anew.
