Wow. I am shaking my head at the intensity of this article. As if there weren't enough to cope with and worry about --
Louise, I also want to encourage you to visit my blog and see the flyer for an upcoming free webinar that I am moderating on puberty, adolescence and developmental disabilities. I hope you'll pass along to your contacts!
