Why are we all afraid to use prescription drugs to help our children? I used to be one of those parents who only wanted to use supplements and natural remedies. But I changed my mind. Some of our children need prescription drugs rather than supplements. I am thrilled for those who have recovered their kids with…

Many of our children are extremely intelligent even though they can’t show us that because of the communication issue. It may look like the lights are on and nobody is home but that usually isn’t true. They are in there and hearing every word we say. But since they have limited speech and have trouble…

Healing people who aren’t ready or don’t ask/ want it… This is a response in regard to an example on LinkedIn. It was about a woman who gave and gave, and never got anything back. She believed eventually she would be in a wheel-chair; as this would be her only permission to “stop.” It also…

Remember the javelin in my foot? So when you have such a strong pain, what do you decide? Maybe you decide that you don’t want to feel the wounded foot? It is so strong that you don’t want to feel it. You’d do anything you can to not feel it. Well, what about becoming numb?…
