Does to me too. The problem is children's behavior is inconvenient for some people. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

yep, makes sense. I see more and more kids with no boundaries; easy to see how that messes them up. |

The real problem is "the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders or DSM". This medical guide is very much disputed in Europe: in Belgium and France it is regarded as highly untrustworthy... Wim |

Like many people, I have always believed that what passes for child rearing today (no boundaries, no spanking, etc) is the reason for so many kids who act out. Another thing they're doing that is damaging kids today is this silly notion that it's bad to make them compete with each other. Bull. My first wife's cousin had twins who were "ADHD". She wouldn't make them mind, and they just ran loose like a couple of wild injuns (did I just say that? ) .... except when they came to my house. When they came to my house, they sat quietly, acted polite, and didn't get into anything. The reason: The first time they came to my house, after three attempts to get her to stop her kids from running loose and destroying the furniture, I busted their asses right in front of her and told them if they so much as blinked one more time I would take them out into the front yard and tie them to a tree. After that, any time I was around, they were just as sweet as could be. |

Giving them red wine and Brie instead of that bright orange sh!t the Americans call cheese sauce also helps. |

Hi Wim, Could you elaborate on that a bit? I've been highly skeptical of of the DSM's additions in the past few years—I think "extended bereavement" or some such B.S. is in there now. What do psychologists and psychiatrists in Belgium and France use as their guide, and how does it differ? |

There is a difference between every child can and every child will. Some are second stringers, sorry, but some are. |

At my son's recent graduation ceremony for middle-school they gave out awards to about 80% of the graduating year. I thought this was the worst possible way to do it, since the remaining 20% were really made to feel like losers. You either need to give awards to only those who genuinely excel, or you need to give them out to everyone. |
