[quote=Anonymous]I feel like one of the things that’s always missed when people talk about the good old days and how now people are so busy because they are overwhelming their kids with intensive parenting is that so many of us are spending tons of time and resources on learning disabilities and mild SN that just weren’t diagnosed even 20 years ago. My oldest has ADHD and only after their diagnosis were two adults in our family diagnosed. No one took them to the psychiatrist once a month for meds or dealt with the IEP meetings or did the executive function coaching because they weren’t *that* bad. Well until one of them ended up unable to hold a job despite being smart enough and having the expensive education to get one. I think one of the most amazing things about the current age of parenting is to identify these issues earlier and get help while it makes a difference. I don’t consider that intensive parenting even though it does take a lot of time. [/quote]
