From FOCUS ON THE FAMILY , Today , 14 Mar 2008 edition     Attention Deficit is a Real Crisis By Dr Bill Maier   Could your child have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)?   In recent years there has been a lot of debate among parents and educators about ADHD. Is it being over-diagnosed in kids? Many parents are afraid to have their kids tested because they have heard horror stories about overmedication and misdiagnosis. I understand their concern , but the fact is , ADHD is a very real problem.   It is estimated that about one in 20 kids suffer from some form of attention disorder. And many of them are never treated or diagnosed. That is very unfortunate because help is available for them. Doctors who specialise in treating these types of disorders are extremely cautious when diagnosing kids and they are not in the habit of handing out drugs unnecessarily.   So if you suspect that...

“In His will is our peace.” Dante Alighieri   Unconditional Surrender   Romans 12:1   When many people hear the word surrender , images of conflict and overpowering forces come to mind. In contrast , the act of surrendering one’s life to God is a beautiful and peaceful experience.   Why then are we so afraid to hand over the reigns of our lives to God’s omnipotent leadership? The answer lies in our self-oriented nature. We live in a world that encourages us to take pride in what we have accomplished and accumulated. The concept of surrendering these things to God is unthinkable for most people.   As a believer , however , God has called you to a higher standard of living. He wants to help you reach the goals that He has set for your life. Yet , in order to fulfill His plan , we must choose to lay our selfish desires before Him.   Until you make this important step t...

NO GREATER LOVE   “Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man , though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners , Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:7-8 , NIV)   A few years ago , a young American executive working in Peru was kidnapped by a Peruvian rebel group and held hostage. Jason Johnson was a husband , father of two young children , and a rising star with the Bellamoor Corporation. The rebels were hoping to exchange him for four of their imprisoned comrades. The Peruvian govern- ment refused to negotiate with the rebels. The Bellamoor Corporation and the United States government tried every tactic to free Jason Johnson.   Finally , seven months after he was taken hostage , Johnson was set free. What made the change? Mr. Bellamoor , the CEO of Jason’s company , offered himself as a hostage in...

From FOCUS ON THE FAMILY , Today , 13 Mar 2008 edition     When Children Are Fearful by Dr Bill Maier   You haven’t lived until you’ve had to chase monsters out from under your kids’ bed.   A lot of young children go through periods of fear and anxiety. They may see ghosts hiding in the wardrobe or think giants are out to get them. Some kids have bad dreams , while others fear spiders or snakes.   As parents , we shouldn’t ignore these anxieties , but we shouldn’t be too concerned either.   Talk to your kids about why they are afraid of certain things. Teach them coping techniques , like deep breathing , or visualising a happy place. And encourage them to pray when they experience fear and anxiety.   All children go through childhood phobias to one degree or another , and they almost always grow out of them in time. If their fears persist , talk to you...
