Letters to the Editor on ADHD and parental conflict
The Faubles defend their son Jason who had severe ADHD diagnosed by Dr. Bromberg and treated with Ritalin. They urge Elaine Reinhold to learn about the condition, discuss Maryland special education law, and offer to speak further about challenges of parenting a child with special needs.

Barbara A. Cole from Transville responds to Elaine Reinhold’s Dec 20 letter. She asks how many children Reinhold has and how many classes she has taught, then shares her eight years of dealing with a son diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. She argues the child’s behavior stems from a neurological disorder, not poor parenting, and urges informed understanding before labeling parents.
