Greetings!
 Our most powerful tool to deal with problems is...each other. Easter is a big deal in my life and the life of my family. This past Sunday, we celebrated Easter, and it filled my heart and soul with enormous joy, and the hearts and souls of the friends and family who joined us. What fills your heart and soul with such joy? I hope you make time for celebrations that matter. I hope you make time to stop and relish what we have in life. As a rabbi once wrote, "Happiness is not having what you want, it's wanting what you have." Problems come up all the time in life, some major, most minor. Our most powerful tool to deal with problems is...each other.

Invite Dr. Hallowell to Your Event
 Dr. Hallowell, a seasoned and passionate speaker, offers customized, entertaining, and research-driven talks on a wide range of topics including ADHD, parenting, relationships, education, and business. "I brought my 16 year old son to your talk last night. He has been diagnosed since 3rd grade and in treatment. I have read your book, heard you speak and followed your blog for years. I have told my son he was different in a very good way but he needed to manage his ADD. I have pushed back on teachers and schools referring to ADD as a disorder or disability. As you started talking last night, my son was messing around with his phone but put it away and started listening intently as your talk progressed. As we walked out of Town Hall he said "that's the first doctor that gets the fact that there is nothing wrong with my brain." Thank you for making a very important message audible to him. Thanks for dedicating your immense energy and effort to ADD." - B.M. Seattle, WA Learn more

Q: What do you say to your boss who says I need you 24/7?
A: You come as a group. The boss that insists on that is going to get fired. The idea of 24/7 is over. Management is all about brain management. How do we partition time - online, offline, available, not available? You do your best work when you're 'not available.' And the enlightened managers know this. You want to begin the discussion in your organization. What is the best way to get the most out of all of our brains? Raise it as a question.

Dipping Grades, Anxiety, Low Self-Esteem - Emergency Academic Recovery System (EARS)
Middle school to college age students can ramp up their school performance in short periods of time.
Together we create a plan and get to work immediately - Our first in-person visit is to get to know your student's helpful traits and past successes, study recent testing and teacher reports, identify areas of concern and set a course for action. Often the problems center around executive functioning - planning, organizing, initiating, emotional regulation, working memory, inhibition and the ability to shift between tasks and emotional states. Regular follow-up sessions can be in person, by phone or Skype. All that's needed is a supportive parent or caregiver, and a cooperative, trustworthy student who is "change-ready" and eager for a positive approach to solving problems and making new habits. Contact Rebecca for a free inquiry at 978 287 0810 or 978 255 1817. More information at DrHallowell.com.

Mindfulness and Adult ADHD - If stress is producing chaos in your life, your household and your work environment, it is time to learn to manage it. This is particularly important if you have ADHD, as impulsivity, distractibility and hyperactivity are symptoms you must manage daily. As Dr. Hallowell describes it, having ADHD is like having a powerful race car for a brain, but with bicycle brakes. Treating ADHD is like strengthening your brakes. This workshop utilizes a combination of mindfulness techniques, meditation, breath-work, movement and visualization to reduce stress, increase focus and manage distractions. 6 week series at the Hallowell Center NYC. 212 799-7777. Starts April 22nd, 6:30-8:30pm. $395. Learn more here.

 ADHD and Marriage - ADHD not only affects the person with ADHD, but also the spouse and often the entire family. As a mediator, family law attorney and psychologically trained medical professional, I often suggest to couples having marriage problems and dealing with ADHD to consider a creative, therapeutic approach called mediation. Mediation gives couples the opportunity to work with an unbiased, trained professional in a safe, compassionate setting, and receive problem solving marital solutions (sometimes in the form of an agreement).
