Parenting a Child with a Mental Illness - June 23
Anyone who is raising a child knows of the challenges involved. From a very young age, all the way into teenage years, parents sometimes struggle to understand mood behaviors, actions and learning problems of their precious children.
Many parents wonder: "is there something wrong with my child?" - but they can't put their finger on the problem or they make up excuses to validate the child's behavior - "all boys are like that."

I thought the show about the child with a mental disorder was rather predictable except for the use of the video game angle! I also appreciated the character who said that she was thinking that the bipolar diagnosis is the disease du jour. She seemed to be the only one really in the child's corner. The main shrink is a character that is glaringly unbelievable. I know it is an hour show and he is the hero but why don't we see the medical people who are restricted by their job but still manage to be real and compassionate. This guy would be sued for malpractice like the nurse who runs into every dept. on another new show.
I work in a classroom setting with children and the video game really struck home with me. It gave me a new way to think about the way their little brains get caught up.
