What a Difference a Friend Makes
When my son Tim was younger, he didn’t have a lot of friends. From a very early age, he didn’t relate well to other kids. He didn’t want to play with them. It wasn’t a matter of not wanting to share toys; he had no interest in people his own age and size. Adults thought…

Nickelodeon Needs to Be Educated – Guest Blog for BC2M
I cringe, wondering what tweeners who watched that think about psychiatric treatment. If they ever experience depression, will they tell anyone, or will they fear the dirty room full of strange adults and security guards? Will parents who saw it shy away at getting a child treatment, thinking the facility will be full of adults…

Say What You Need To Say
I’ve gotten lots of comments on the last few day’s worth of blog posts. I don’t post them all. I don’t post ones that are personal attacks against me, because they don’t further the discussion. I definitely don’t post the ones that border on death threats. I’m going to continue to say what I need…

Superman – It’s Not Easy
BringChange2Mind has been posting song videos that BC2M members have requested on Facebook this week. I thought I’d share my request. Tim has had an obsession with Superman since, well, since he could express it. He carries this affection for Superman through today. No song has ever described what I feel it must be like…
