Good to see you on the site. The concept here is to collect together people who work with challenging children, either as parents, carers, teachers, helper or friend. We hopefully will be focussing on the positive, self-esteem building, emotionally intelligent and inclusive ways of helping the children they work with to manage their behaviour. With that in mind, I am posting a number of short articles from others and myself to hopefully inspire others to add their voice.
SBM is a growing movement in education and I feel that schools will need to be much more proactive and less punitive in their methods as time goes on. Exclusion for minor misdemeanours should be reduced - the majority of current exclusions are around disobedience and low-level disruption. Exclusion for these issues leads to the children getting zero percent education, something that I totally disagree with - especially for those challenged children that I'm referring to, currently around 5% ADHD and a total of 10% with a mental disorder of some kind. We can't keep on excluding the 'Lost children' forever.
Look forward to hearing more from the conversation
As to ADHD as a specific, I have posted some videos and there are a number relating to ADHD. Please listen to Sir Ken Robinson's speech on Creativity - Just Google Sir Ken Robinson TED and you'll find it - its got a section on Gillian Lind and ADHD from the creative point of view - very moving

I'm pleased you took up the offer to join us here, welcome. I look forward to seeing your contributions. I really like your article "A butterfly in my pocket - living with ADHD" - it's a great insight
