  Dr. Baughman- Thank you for your wonderful and fabulously
  informative website. My 7 year old daughter's first grade teacher is
  suggesting that our daughter has attention deficit disorder. Julianna is a
  happy, well-adjusted, naturally exuberrant little girl. She is creatively
  gifted, compassionate and sensitive. She has never been a problem in our
  home and she has progressed extremely well academically to this point. She
  reads, she is capable mathmatically and she is  artistically and musically
  talented. We will not allow these wonderful qualtities to be drugged out of
  her. While my husband and I now fear for her emotional well-being, her
  self-confidence and her ability to thrive in her first grade classroom, the
  resources that you have provided will enable us to be effective advocates
  for our little girl. Since this issue arose, at Julianna's bedtime, I tell
  my daughter 'You are a music maker. You are a dreamer of the dreams'. And
  she will remain so.
  Thank you, once again.

Thank you Karen. What loving, protective parents you are. How fortunate
your daughter is. She will grow up with all of here wondrous, limitless,
human potential intact, because of you--not a psychiatric patient/victim.
