Australian, Cypriot, Irish, and Israeli ADHD Support Groups Added

Filed under: ADD Advocacy Pete Quily @

Just added Australian, Cypriot, Irish, and Israeli ADHD Support Groups to my US and International ADHD Support Groups listings. Canadian ADHD Support Groups listed here.

So far that’s 8 countries with English speaking ADHD support groups. If you know any that should be added to the list, let me know.

I have a list of medical professionals in the Vancouver BC area that are known to diagnose and treat ADHD in adults and children, but I don’t know who does it in Chicoutimi, Chicago or Canberra.

Where Kids Learn to Lie

Filed under: Random Cool Stuff Pete Quily @

Fascinating article in New York Magazine on kids and lying where they talk about where kids learn to lie from. Their parents.

Encouraged to tell so many white lies and hearing so many others, children gradually get comfortable with being disingenuous. Insincerity becomes, literally, a daily occurrence. They learn that honesty only creates conflict, and dishonesty is an easy way to avoid conflict

They also lie a lot. on one study of 36 topics that teens sometimes lied to their parents the average teen lied to their parents about 12 of them. They talk about the many different reason kids lie.
