[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are looking for a referral for an educational psychologist, in DC or MD, who has real expertise in boys and their developmental differences.  Books such as "Raising Cain" and "The Minds of Boys" have really resonated with us.   Our 10-year old son suffers from shpilkes (ants in pants) and apparently this is no longer considered socially acceptable.   We need someone to help us navigate/play zone defense in the feminized halls of American elementary school education.

Also, we are in the "no drugs" camp so prefer someone who is like-minded.

We would be grateful for any recommendations.[/quote]

I don't have any referrals, but I would considering looking WAY outside the DC area.  There is a completely different mentality here....boys are feminized a great deal in any kind of hyper-competitive area like ours.  sit down, sit still, don't talk, be mature, don't act silly, stop touching.....blah blah blah

I would suggest researching doctors in Texas, Colorado, Southern California, most mountain states where "men are men".  You will be more apt to find doctors who understand what you're trying to achieve.

Now I'm going to sit back and wait for the backlash...but I am hoping it won't happen [/quote]
