Orthodox Holy Thursday.
Now it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. Then the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two. And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, “Father, ‘into Your hands I commit My spirit.’” Having said this, He breathed His last. —Luke 23:44–46 (Icon courtesy of Fr. Matthew Garrett, holy-icons.com)

A MESSAGE FROM HCHC PRESIDENT CANTONIS
As we celebrate the Fourth of July, let us take to heart the first words of the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
As they deliberated about what an independent America should look like, the Founding Fathers were guided and inspired by the ancient Greek principles of democracy and incorporated them into our Constitution. When, some decades later, the Greeks made ready to fight for their freedom against another oppressor, they in turn were guided and inspired by the success of the American Revolution.
May you and your loved ones have a glorious Fourth, and may we all remember to give thanks to our Creator for the abundant blessings we enjoy as citizens of a free society.

"Joy is a powerful tool for solving childhood challenges and promoting brain health. Yet in our culture of doing, teaching, treating and pathologizing, too often we forget that when a child needs help, the first thing we should increase is joy."

It's your job to step out of the power struggle.
Don't expect your child to be the adult first.

The grammar police in me would remove “at”, but the message is the same!

It is better to teach a child HOW to learn than to merely impart information.
It's Easy to Hover Over a Child with Executive Function Deficits. Don't.
Executive functioning might be a key part of human behavior, but ADHD can make it tricky for kids to execute. Learn how to use memory, organization and self-regulation to nurture your child's EF skills.
