"ADHD is not a disorder or disease or a syndrome or chemical imbalance of the brain. It is not over-diagnosed, under-diagnosed, or mis-diagnosed. It doesn't exist in 3%, or 5%, or 10% of the population. In fact, it doesn't exist at all. It's 100% fraud."

Exploring the psychology of happy and successful parenting
My favourite parenting book ever

neuro-linguistic programming:
Liberating Parents
by Keith Gilbert (Cert. Grad NLP)

Read my review here
Teenagers: Your Essential Guide to the Weird World of... Adults

"This book shows teenagers, and their parents, how to use language effectively, how to protect themselves from the impositions of others, and how to find what is most important to them and translate their personal criteria into desirable, personal goals."

More information
"When I teach parents how they can apply NLP to their own lives they soon see how they can influence their children in exceptional ways. If you have children then you want to ensure that they keep what's most important to any person… the freedom to choose.

With Liberating Parents you can learn NLP to explore what's important to you, set personal goals, develop greater behavioural flexibility and generate resourceful states of mind.

Liberating Parents - it's about modeling exceptional behaviour."  -

About the Publisher
Hi, I'm Bob Collier.

I'm the publisher of the Parental Intelligence Newsletter.

I come originally from London, England, but now live in Canberra, the beautiful capital city of Australia, with my wife, Mary, and we have two wonderful children, Bronwyn and Patrick.

Bronnie was born in Sydney, Australia, in 1985, and is currently living in Sydney, having graduated from university in Canberra in 2008 with a double degree in Arts and Law and a degree in Applied Science in Forensics. Pat was born in London, England, in 1995, and has been self-educated at home since 2003.

For most of the time since I became a parent, my primary occupation has been 'stay-at-home dad' - for many years it was my full time 24/7 occupation. A strange life in many ways - certainly an unusual one - but I feel both grateful and honoured to have been given the opportunity to be so deeply involved in parenting my children.

Now that my daughter is in her twenties and living away from home and my son is a teenager, I no longer refer to myself as a 'stay-at-home dad', but I'm still home based for other reasons. Primarily, so that I can adequately supervise my son's education.

What I call 'parental intelligence' is, in my perception, what goes on in that space between our ears when we think of our children and our relationships with our children - 'intelligence' both in the sense that I believe parenting has its own unique place in the theory of 'multiple intelligences' and in the sense that it's the gathering of information and knowledge.

I've been publishing my Parental Intelligence Newsletter in various formats since August 2002. It started life as a weekly email, went online in March 2004 and become a monthly publication soon after that. I like to think of it as my personal contribution to 'making the world a better place'!

I hope my newsletter will help you enjoy your experience of parenthood and that it will, through you, contribute to the happiness and success of your children.

With best wishes,
