Link between ADHD and academic expectations identified by University of Miami researchers
(University of Miami Miller School of Medicine) A new study led by Jeffrey P. Brosco, M.D., Ph.D., professor of clinical pediatrics at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, has identified a possible correlation between the prevalence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and increasing academic demands on young children. In an article published in JAMA Pediatrics, Brosco hypothesized that increased academic standards since the 1970s have contributed to the rise in diagnosis of ADHD.

More than just a game: Yoga for school-age children
Follow me at @newyorkpsych
Yoga is becoming increasingly popular among American children. A national survey found that 3% of U.S. children (1.7 million) did yoga as of 2012 — that’s 400,000 more children than in 2007.
Yoga and mindfulness have been shown to improve both physical and mental health in school-age children (ages 6 to 12). Yoga improves balance, strength, endurance, and aerobic capacity in children. Yoga and mindfulness offer psychological benefits for children as well. A growing body of research has already shown that yoga can improve focus, memory, self-esteem, academic performance, and classroom beh...

Ask the Expert: How can I make the most of a well-child appointment?
It happens to many parents. You leave work early and rush your child to her well-child visit so you can hurry off to the next activity. After the appointment is over, you feel like the visit was too fast. In fact, you realize you forgot to ask her doctor about some concerns.
Thriving checked in with Dr. Susan Laster, a pediatrician in private practice in Brookline, Massachusetts, affiliated with Boston Children’s Hospital, to learn how parents can make the most of a well-child appointment.
The reality is many pediatric checkups are rushed, and parents may forget to mention some of their questions or concerns. But it does...

Neurodevelopmental Disorders: A Definitive Guide for Educators
As a teacher, it can be especially rewarding to work with students who have special needs. However, that can also mean we are thrown into a classroom with a big group of kids, many of whom have been diagnosed with learning disabilities we know very little about.
Because we often start the year scrambling to educate ourselves on our new students’ needs, I had hoped that Neurodevelopmental Disorders: A Definitive Guide for Educators would be a useful resource. Unfortunately, I did not come away from it with a better sense of how to help this student population.
Author Frank E. Vargo provides a breakdown of types of ...

Inside My Manic Mind
I often think people misconceptualize bipolar disorder. They hear it and think of a person who is kind and gentle, and then, out of the blue, they turn into The Hulk; almost a Dr. Jekyll / Mr. Hyde scenario.
While it’s true during a manic episode some may become angry, I don’t think that is the typical response. Instead, I think it is much more common for one to become elated, euphoric, almost in a constant high state. Those in a state of mania take on a sense of grandiosity, feeling they are invincible. Often they spend money at an alarming pace, sleep less, and make seemingly novel connections to completely u...
