Quote: "Live so that when your children think of fairness and integrity, they think of you." --- H. Jackson Brown, Jr. Oh yes, a link to the image or you can copy and paste the url into your browser This week's "Something Extra" THROUGH THE EYES OF A CHILD WITH A.D.D. Please tell me you
love me, for I need to be accepted in your eyes. Please let me know when I have done well, for I need to know that sometimes I am like other children. Please share some of your thoughts with me, for my intelligence is not impaired. Please learn all you can about my problem. I need understanding as well as discipline. Please bother to correct me and keep me in line as much as necessary. I cannot steer myself. Give me your patience, because, although it takes me
longer, I need to succeed just like all the other children. Please make time in your day for me. I need to feel that attention and affection are things you want to give. I will not go away if you pretend I am not there. Remember that I am a complex person with many traits that are right and
fine. Please help me to see those things in myself. You are my mirror. Please do not abuse me; for, although I need a firmer hand than most, I feel lost and alone when I see rejection in your eyes. I have no motive, and all I can do is say, "I am sorry" over and over again. Please remember
that I love you, for you stand beside me day after day in this confusing and frightening world. You are the reason I am not alone.
