		<description><![CDATA[Many gifted and talented children (and adults) are being mis-diagnosed by psychologists, psychiatrists, pediatricians, and other health care professionals. The most common mis-diagnoses are: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (OD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and Mood Disorders such as Cyclothymic Disorder, Dysthymic Disorder, Depression, and Bi-Polar Disorder. These common mis-diagnoses stem from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just wanted to share a brief article I wrote about my family&#8217;s experience with food additives.  We do &#8220;The Feingold Diet&#8221; with great results.  This may not seem like something of interest to homeschoolers, but actually, learning about how food additives impact some children can be life-changing in some cases, especially when a child is really struggling [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While I can&#8217;t write a personal review of this curriculum, I think it looks wonderful.  I unschool so I don&#8217;t usually purchase this type of curriculum (at least not yet) but I work with many parents through homeschool consulting who use pre-packaged sets.  I was impressed with this excerpt from the Moving Beyond the Page site:

The best gifted page I&#8217;ve found on the web.  Not specifically for homeschooling but has excellent information about giftedness.  Remember to check this site even if your child doesn&#8217;t have a &#8220;diagnosis&#8221; of giftedness.   Remember that some children who struggle in school are actually gifted.  [...]]]></description>
