This is a really good book for parents, families, or caregivers seeking basic information about the misdiagnosis of ADHD, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, Asperger’s syndrome, depression, and other common disorders. A great many of our children and adolescents are misdiagnosed with ADHD or bipolar disorder when they evidence signs of hyperactivity, explosive behavior, temper tantrums, or bullying behaviors.

Perspectives on Disease & Disorders: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder by Fredericks
This is a great book for individuals interested in learning about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in veterans, adults, and children. The book begins by providing an overview of PTSD and moves into more specific stories, case studies, and examples of the disorder. The book also offers information about treatment for children with PTSD and the controversy associated with the diagnosis.
A Rainbow of Gangs by Vigil
Although this book is not technically a “psychology book,” it is a great book for introducing the psychology of the gang mentality. Gangs are becoming way more sophisticated in our society than they use to be and many more kids are becoming apart of them. Gangs occur in all societies and amongst all ages and cultures. California is well known for its large Chicano gangs. But you will find gangs in many of our neighborhoods and maybe even on your street.
The Parent’s Guide To Psychological First Aid by Koocher and La Greca
This book is a rather interesting read. You will find everything in this book from toilet training to sleep problems and conflicts with the teacher to discussing family secrets with your child. The book is useful for both children and adolescents. The book presents as a multi-dimensional academic book that includes many chapters and pages. But the book is easy to read and will more than likely include multiple topics you will find useful to daily life.
Angry Young Men by Kipnis
This book is similar to the book A Rainbow of Gangs because it focuses not only on so-called “antisocial” youths but also young men who are angry and unable to regulate their emotions. The book focuses on educating teachers, parents, and counselors to the problems “angry young men” encounter and how we may help them.
The Working Women’s Guide To Managing Stress by Powell
If you are a woman who works a tough job, is constantly engaging in stressful events, or working 2 or more jobs, this book is for you. Even if you are a full-time parent, this book is for you. You will learn how to balance your daily life and incorporate tools to help you cope with stressful events.
Light Up Your Child’s Mind by Renzulli, Reis, and Thompson
Do you currently know a child or have a child or grandchild who is struggling in school, with peer relationships, or academics? If so, this book might interest you. The book’s main focus is on bringing awareness to the fact that kids have special talents and strength that can be cultivated with the right approach and right attention. All kids can blossom with the right amount of ingredients.
How Children Fail by John Holt
John Holt is one of my favorite authors because he exposes the inadequacies of a failed educational system. He has always spoken out about the incompetence’s of most teachers and educational systems that fail children who do not fit the typical mold. Teachers and schools have been molded to view all children a certain way and many kids with “special” talents, gifts, or skill are often overlooked or shunned. Although John Holt is deceased, his books live on. He continues to speak to the problems of the educational system and why children end up failing.
American Psychosis by E Fuller Torrey
Dr. Torrey is the nation’s most famous psychiatrist and controversial spokesperson for Assisted Outpatient Treatment, a procedure in which individuals with severe or untreated mental illness are court-ordered into treatment. Dr. Torrey explains the problems throughout history of our mental health system and mental illness treatment policies that have kept us behind in our society. He makes the point that we cannot progress until we change laws that affect all of us.
ADHD: The Great Misdiagnosis by Haber
This is a pretty basic overview of the ADHD debate. ADHD is indeed over-diagnosed, so we need to focus on learning disabilities, medical conditions, mental retardation or intellectual disabilities, giftedness, and other factors that could look like ADHD. Good reminder for all of us!

Miss Kitty Litter ATX’ invited to to school for ‘story hour’ despite criminal conviction
Drag queen ‘Miss Kitty Litter ATX’ (pictured) has a criminal conviction for prostitution but was still invited to the school
By Jay Greenberg,
Parents are outraged after learning that their elementary school children were visited by a drag queen prostitute as part of the district’s new sex-ed program.
“Miss Kitty Litter ATX” was invited to the school in Austin, Texas to teach children about “gender diversity.
“The kids’ parents were horrified to later learn that the drag queen was a criminally convicted prostitute, however.
Despite the criminal conviction, “Miss Kitty Litter ATX” was still invited to read to the young children at the Blackshear Fine Arts Academy.
Some parents are calling the situation “a sign of things to come” under the city’s radical new sex education program.
As shocked as parents were to learn that a convicted prostitute was reading to their children, however, it was nothing compared to the outrage they felt when they discovered out that the school district knew about the drag queen’s track record.
Drag queen ‘Miss Kitty Litter ATX’ (pictured) visited the young kids, despite his criminal conviction.
That’s the most astonishing revelation from the open records request that Texas Values filed.
Thanks to internal communications between Miss Kitty Litter (real name David Robinson) and the school librarian Roger Grape, moms and dads now know that not only did Blackshear expose their children to this wild and deviant ideology but to a felon too.
Robinson admitted that he might not pass the school background check.“
The guidelines for submission automatically disqualify me if the deferred adjudication for prostitution is considered a conviction … so I don’t know if [it’s] ethical to submit.”
So either the school didn’t go through with the background check—or ignored it altogether.
Either option is equally distressing.
“According to emails sent to parents,” Texas Values points out, “the reading event was scheduled to take place at 11 a.m. and all readers had been screened by Austin ISD.”
© press Drag queen ‘Miss Kitty Litter ATX’ (left) is a convicted prostitute, and the school knew it
No one knows what that screening could’ve possibly entailed since an arrest and conviction are the first things a basic search would uncover.
Or maybe Austin officials don’t see the problem in bringing in a man who sells himself for sex as an acceptable guest speaker.
Based on their latest curriculum decisions, which are stunningly pornographic, it wouldn’t surprise us.
Just as startling, the records from the Oct. 7 day when Robinson came to school show that neither he nor the school were in any hurry for him to leave.
Dressed head-to-toe as a woman, he walked through the doors at 7:25 a.m. and didn’t leave until the bell almost rang at 2:11 p.m.
Why was he there for so long? No one seems to know.
Maybe he did more than read to the first-, second-, third-, and fourth-graders.
Maybe he was consulting on the recently adopted lessons about anal sex (“What’s the best way to have it?”) or contraception (“What ages you can get birth control, abortions, or other health care without your parents”).
© press Controversial ‘Drag Queen Story Hour’ events are a growing trend
Unfortunately for the moms and dads in the area, this isn’t their first brush with the extreme.
On the Willis side of the district, a man with the stage name Lynn Adonis also visited class—this time as a guest cosmetologist.
There’s just one problem: He isn’t one.
He’s an entertainer—and a drag queen one at that.
Like Robinson, he spent twice as much time at the school as other visitors that day.
When the inviting teacher was asked, she admitted that Jerred Bridges (his legal name) spent the day putting makeup on kids, “despite having no license to do so.”
Usually, the fact that a district is willing to host one of these drag queen events is sickening enough.
Imagine finding out that the person it invited wasn’t even vetted—or worse, a confirmed sex trafficker.
Schools are supposed to be safe learning spaces, not catwalks for prostitutes.
Their actions would suggest that Austin officials are more interested in the sexual exploitation of kids than their actual well-being.
In any classroom, including this one, the only thing these drag queens should be reading are the directions to the nearest exit. Source: https://neonnettle.com

IN BRIEF
T he Facts: The US Military generates more waste than almost 140 countries.
The US Military generates more waste than almost 140 countries. Reflect On: Given that our governments appear to have a regard for environmental welfare and “climate change” shouldn’t we work towards less military to protect our planet?
As more awareness is raised and the concern for our planet and protection of our environment grows it’s clear that many people do care about minimizing their ecological footprint with the intention of making an effort to protect our planet. On the surface, it appears that our governments really want to make a difference as well, with all the emphasis put towards climate change and the media’s obsession with activist Greta Thunberg as well as the impending carbon tax that people will undoubtedly line up to pay.
But what really gets under my skin is the idea that people believe the government and corporations as a whole genuinely care about our environment. If they did, wouldn’t there be many more regulations already in place that ban the sale of millions of disposable plastic water bottles? We wouldn’t be shipping our recycling to foreign countries to be disposed of, and thus out of sight out of mind to the consumer and we certainly wouldn’t be pumping the military full of oil, waste and very environmentally unfriendly practices.
If We Want To Drastically Reduce Pollution We Must Drastically Change This War Machine
You may be shocked to learn that the U.S. military is one of the largest polluters in history and creates more waste and pollution than the majority most countries around the world. This comes despite the fact that we are led to believe that protecting our environment is a top priority for our government officials and those who we look towards to make the best decisions on behalf of the public.
According to information obtained by The Conversation through the Freedom of Information Act, a study proved that If the US military were its own country, the amount of fuel that it uses alone would make it the 47th largest emitter of greenhouse gasses.
Quartz put out an excellent article including many alarming statistics in regards to how much pollution the US military creates; here is a small excerpt,
In 2017, the US military bought about 269,230 barrels of oil a day and emitted more than 25,000 kilotons of carbon dioxide by burning those fuels. The US Air Force purchased $4.9 billion worth of fuel, and the Navy $2.8 billion, followed by the Army at $947 million and the Marines at $36 million.
The US military has been overlooked in numerous climate change studies because it is very difficult to access data from the Pentagon and various US government departments. The United States was granted an exemption for having to report any military emissions in the 1997 Kyoto Protocol which was then closed by the Paris Accord.
Not More Green, Less Military
There have been attempts to, for lack of a better term, “Go Green” by the U.S. military, such as increasing renewable electricity generation on bases, however, this doesn’t even put a dent on the amount of pollution that is created. Sure, it’s better than nothing, but the solution here is not going green, we don’t need more green, we need less military.
Deeper Than Climate Change
Okay, and now for a controversial opinion, the climate on the Earth is changing, in some places, it is much warmer than it has been in previous years and in other places it is colder. Yes, glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, but ice is also forming. Is this the result of human activity and the pollution of our planet or is this a natural cycle that the Earth goes through over and over again?
Please know that this is in no way taking the responsibility off our hands when it comes to polluting our planet. Regardless of whether or not climate change is in fact caused directly by human activity or not — is irrelevant to the fact that we should all be more mindful about what we are consuming and the waste we are personally creating on a daily basis. One of the most common arguments against the people who question whether or not climate change is caused by humans is the assumption that by merely questioning this we are attempting to justify the destruction of the environment.
Final Thoughts
Deep down, most of us do care about our planet and preserving it despite the fact that making the necessary changes in our lives is not a top priority for many who are way too busy just trying to survive and support their families. We are not as connected as our ancestors were with our Mother Earth, but most of us do have an innate desire to protect her.
When you consider the harm that the US Military alone is causing towards not only our environment but to our planet as a whole, including all of its inhabitants it may bring back the very important question, war — what is it good for?
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, or perhaps we can awaken neutrality and see it as a wake up call to move towards shifting our consciousness away from the way war currently living and being.

prepareforchange--2020-02-22--Four Reasons Why Millennials Don’t Have Any Money

The same forces that are driving massive inequality between the top 1 percent and the rest of us are creating a vast generational wealth gap between baby boomers — my generation — and millennials .
Millennials aren ’ t teenagers anymore .
They ’ re working hard , starting families and trying to build wealth .
But as a generation , they ’ re way behind .
They ’ re deeper in debt , only half as likely to own a home , and more likely to live in poverty than their parents .
If we want to address their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ problems .
Number one : Stagnant wages .
Median wages grew by an average of 0.3 % per year between 2007 and 2017 , including the Great Recession – just as millennials were beginning their careers .
Before that , between the mid-1980s and mid-1990s , wages grew at three times that rate .
Second : As wages have stagnated , the costs of essentials like housing and education have been going through the roof .
Millennials own fewer homes , the most common way Americans have built wealth in the past .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ inflation , the average college education in 2018 cost nearly three times what it did in 1978 .
Third : As a result of all of this , Debt .
That expensive college education means that the average graduate carries a whopping $ 28,000 in student loan debt .
As a generation , millennials are more than one trillion dollars in the red .
In addition , the average young adult carries nearly $ 5,000 in credit card debt , and this number is growing .
Fourth : Millennials are finding it harder @ @ @ @ @ @ @ future .
Among Fortune 500 companies , only 81 sponsored a pension plan in 2017 , that ’ s down from 288 twenty years ago .
Employers are replacing pensions with essentially “ do-it-yourself ” savings plans .
All of this means that fewer millennials are entering the middle class than previous generations .
Most have less than $ 1,000 in savings .
Many young people today won ’ t be able to retire until 75 , if at all .
If we don ’ t start trying to reduce this generational wealth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , accessible health insurance , paid family leave , affordable housing , and a more equitable tax code for renters — millions of young Americans will struggle to find financial security for the rest of their lives .

Second: As wages have stagnated, the costs of essentials like housing and education have been going through the roof. Millennials own fewer homes, the most common way Americans have built wealth in the past. Education costs have soared. Adjusted for inflation, the average college education in 2018 cost nearly three times what it did in 1978.
Third: As a result of all of this, Debt. That expensive college education means that the average graduate carries a whopping $28,000 in student loan debt.

If we don’t start trying to reduce this generational wealth gap — through policies like debt relief, accessible health insurance, paid family leave, affordable housing, and a more equitable tax code for renters — millions of young Americans will struggle to find financial security for the rest of their lives.

Epilepsy is a significant medical condition affecting approximately 1% of the American population. The disorder causes unprovoked and recurrent seizures. This medical condition occurs due to many other therapeutic factors, not only one’s genetic composition. Individuals who have Alzheimer’s can also suffer from seizures. People with a brain injury or who have suffered from a stroke are most likely to suffer from seizures.
Epileptic seizures disrupt an individual’s life. Once they occur, you lose control of your body, and you can suffer further injuries as a result. To reduce such impacts, individuals receive antiepileptic prescriptions for seizure management. However, these medications have severe side effects.
People are now seeking an alternative to epileptic medications. One of the best ideas brought forth by medical studies is the use of bulk CBD oil. Even though cannabis still faces opposition in many places, the use of cannabidiol for medical purposes has support from the government. People need reasons indicating why using cannabidiol is essential for their epileptic seizures. Following are a few such reasons-
1. It is not addictive or psychoactive
One of the fears that people have regarding cannabidiol is getting addicted or getting high. Cannabidiol has no addictive elements in it as it does not contain THC, which is responsible for inducing the high. CBD and THC are two different compounds from the same cannabis plant.

2. Fights migraines and insomnia
Due to frequent epileptic seizure attacks, an individual may end up suffering from continuous migraines. These headaches are sometimes too severe, which makes sleeping impossible. If your sleep pattern is no longer the same, your body loses balance. This exacerbates the seizure frequency, and your condition turns from bad to worse.
Ingesting low amounts of CBD oil may help to reduce the effects of seizures or slow them down.

It’s recommended that one buys CBD oil from a well-known brand like weedsmart only as they guarantee quality products at reasonable prices.
CBD is also an effective relaxation remedy. It helps you loosen up, relax, and calm yourself. As a result, you drift into sleep and stay asleep for a longer duration. When you wake, you are not only rejuvenated but also well-rested. It gives the body time to relax and regenerate and boost your immunity against seizures.
3. It protects your neurons
Epilepsy, as a medical condition, affects the neural system in the body. Deficiencies occurring in the neurons are what manifest in the form of seizures, for instance, poor communication, which indicates the brain does not receive a message resulting in a seizure.

If the toxic level is too high, it may end up triggering seizures at a higher rate. Since CBD has a relaxing effect, it helps modulate your ability to get excited or too surprised. Through these functionalities, they prevent further seizure attacks.
Finally, CBD aids in preventing brain inflammation due to its anti-inflammatory capabilities. By reducing the possibilities of neuro-inflammation, the levels of seizure attacks reduce significantly.
4. It is a natural product
CBD oil production is from a natural plant; it contains no additives and is not synthetic. This makes it one of the most potent and natural medications available on the market today for assisting in epileptic seizure management. However, it is crucial to note that different individuals have different reactions to CBD.

The difference may be due to different CBD practices, personal preferences, and genetic makeup, among other reasons that make you a unique human being.
5. You can use it as a long term treatment method
Epileptic patients develop tolerance to different medications at their disposal. Whenever there is a change in their prescription medication, they get relief for a while. However, they still develop resistance to new medicines, as well. The question lingering is whether you can use CBD oil as a long term relief provider to individuals who have epilepsy.
A study in 2018 shows that CBD oil can work for individuals on a long term basis. Its set objectives show that two-thirds of their participants continued to show improvements for the period.
