“I thought my rules were stronger than they were. [Cognition Builders] showed me how I’d turned my children into negotiators." Why is that a bad thing? Don't you want your kids to be able to stick up for themselves? The quote at the end is just heart-wrenching: “I think the best thing is being able to talk to my friends and my family. And the worst thing is definitely having a lot of homework. I’m taking a lot of honors classes. And then I have therapy once a week, drums once a week, tutoring twice a week, and an executive-functioning tutor once a week.” Poor kid just wants to talk to his family and they stick him with the executive functioning crap. He's going to grow up and be pretty angry about this.
