Sorry, but this psychologist is too traditionally trained and treats only the symptoms and not the root causes. He does not understand why childhood ‘mis’behaviours and habits develop. Please listen to Gabor Maté and Gordon Neufeld. They are both extremely knowledgeable and explain WHY and HOW these ‘disorders’ and behaviours have become more prevalent in children in our modern times, and why these behaviours develop. They show how these behaviours develop as reactions to childhood stress! Compassionate inquiry into the root causes, not ‘making the behaviours disappear’, is what is needed! Maté and Neufeld show how these behaviours, including ADD/ADHD, develop as coping mechanisms in childhood. As a teacher for decades, I always understood this in children.
