Good Parenting

Here are eight short guides which deal with self-esteem, learning about feelings, anger, getting along with others and dealing with changes. The guides are most useful for parents with school-age children.

Learning Disabilities (LD) and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)
LD is a disorder that affects people's ability to either interpret what they see and hear or to link information from different parts of the brain. These limitations can show up in many ways: as specific difficulties with spoken and written language, coordination, self control, or attention. Such difficulties extend to schoolwork and can impede learning to read, write, or do math.
