Staying Focused in a Hyper World

Nov 19 by

You probably know someone who has been diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). You are going to know even more in the years to come.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that nearly 20% of high school boys and 11% of all school-age children have been diagnosed with ADHD - a 40% increase in the last decade.
So why the sudden increase? We found answers in a new book from John Gray, the relationship author of Men are from Mars, Women Are from Venus and over 20 other books.

Opening presents at the party is just so last century! Or is it?

This is the way it must have begun:

Somewhere, sometime, some harried parent, probably a lone grown-up in a sea of 6-year-olds, sat among 35 opened, strewn-about birthday-party presents, searching for puzzle pieces, wayward Legos and newly naked Barbies. Wrappings and ribbons covered the floor, and small children vied for the hottest, latest items while the adult in the midst struggled in vain to figure out which gift had arrived with which child and who, exactly, would end up owning it.
