How a Parent Can Heal a Child’s ADHD
Heal the Roots and the Problems Disappear

- Note: We don’t expect everyone to be a Lubavitcher, but we love this book because it gives excellent insights on why we do what we do in Chassidus, ie the long-term implications for children on spiritual sensitivity and helping parents understand what’s happening “behind the spiritual curtain”.

- Note: When we feel that our life has purpose, it’s much easier to raise children who have purpose.
