I'm just thinking out loud. Is it me or are there way too many kids with the diagnosis of ADHD/ADD running around in America?
These pharmaceutical companies seem to be making profits at the expense of our children; Why are parents buying into it?
I'm just saying. I believe its just overrated and that meds aren't what's needed these days for the kids. Many children lack people who know how to parent them and discipline them.
Our kids are out of control at no fault of their own and now the pharmaceutical companies have found a market to push their drugs on.
I just wanted to find out what is your opinion on medicating kids in the guise of ADHD/ADD to "control" their unwanted behavior in the classroom?
Sister Jen, this is just opinion, but these diagnoses and treatments are BS. I hate to think what they might've tried to do to me if I'd grown up in this day and age. The main thing adults need to do is to just remember being kids. And to tell kids, say no to drugs, and then you go and force a mind altering drug on them? I think it's criminal.

I so agree with both of you guys! Rev. House-Bey I read a book recently called "What Happened to Recess?" which addressed the change from children having recess to the focus on kids obtaining high test scores. My son's J-K class doesn't have outdoor time for the kids and when I asked his teacher at the beginning of the school why this is--- she had no reply --- but she thought that I would agree to having a Child Youth Worker placed in the class for what she said what deviant behavior.
I said NO to that & asked for a case conference with the school principal and the school's resources. It turns out that my son didn't need that CYW afterall.
Brother Steve its the highest order of hypocrisy that I've seen in a long time with the "Say No To Drugs Campaign" then the same people turn around and ask for parents' permission to push more harmful drugs on our children or they tell us that our kids can't come to school. Is this a democracy or what? Many of the drugs for ADHD/ADD have what's called a "Black Box Warning" because the side effects can have detrimental effects on our kids which include suicidal tendencies.
I'd rather keep my son home, but he likes school so I will respect and support him in that regard. He's not missed a single day thus far so that speaks volumes, but I will be watching his progress!

Teach the children and teach them well! We are all Gods children big and small. But the future is moving fast! A child will lead them. First question thought, Does joy come from material things? Do not lose the inner persona, because happiness comes at a price.........................................FREE! Teach them that food is more than CLOTHS, and buying overpriced technology. Your body is the Temple.and the temple is God within all of us. What does it take to keep the temple running, in the storehouse? When my dauhter had a complicated pregancy, I jucied for her beets, for the liver toxicity, Green Spanach, and green apples, with honey, and cabbage. together. I jucied oranic, carrot juice, and you will be surprised, it is quite sweet. Teach your kids how to juice, and invest in their future. All my children juice, for life and longevity. I juice as well/ alfalfa, and parsely with a red apple, and use the waste from this for cakes and pies. For sweets, cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon with a hit of cinnamon, and ginger,spices, and ic, lovely; with the rid on, wash the melon outside too, germs. Love, vitamins, herbal teas, vitamins, and green foods, and balancing acidiity, and alkaline in the body. What is your PH Level? Basic science, and spirituality. or what is your child's PH level? Learn this and you have the lottery, for pennies on the dollar. The Roman would for Doctor is tacher. Yet, many doctors do not teach the patient, so learn to EDUCATE YOURSELF. My book coming to you on my website soon. The PH Prophetess, and Plant Power. Remember, there is no Victory in living to be doped up. The first change iseducation, prayer, and what foods are needed in the body. Get a hair mineral test. This will tell you, and your children what is missing in the diet.Learn how to test your salavia, the over invasiveness of blood taking, and poking your fnger until numb, can damage the nerves in your fingers. Yes! The nerves. Next the Diet. switch to brown products. White grains have BROMIDE! Food bleach that makes grain White. No white prodiucts, supplements are added to fortify the product. Remember real grains are brown, tan, or of color. This is why we cannot process this, unless we end up with diabetis. Whole grains fill you up, along with beans for proteins. The wheat is striped from the wheat berry, and sold in high healh food stores, as wheat germ. About time the grain is stripped of all the nutrieous propertyies, nothing is left but by products. Separate the wheat from the shaft, your bible. No sodas, for children, if so, mix with half distilled water. Soda has over 10 teaspoons of sugar per cup, and I mean the ordinary cup, not the new American cup size. The size of a tea cup, and soda is filled with carbon, enough to take the emanel off your teeth. The issues of candy, is candy real chocolate; no! candy that is not real chocolate, creates kids jumping off the walls. My own Mother refused to let us have rotten teeth, or drink soda, unless the fourth of July one can, and Christmas, a small cup. Lord give us Wisdom, due to the overproduction of white sugat! Sugar, Sugar. everywhere, but we care. I am a health intensifier and have read over 100 health books. Yes! Money is the issues, just read Suzzane Summers book KNOCK OUT! According to many doctors in her book, the cancer doctors make 3 Billion a year and more. Why? MONEY, and pharmecuticals. I do not do, nothing synthetic. Why? The body HUMAN, is not a plastic machine. Lean how to start growing your own vegetables. Michelle Obama, is teaching many in the White House about farming, and foods.
Remmeber many of us cannot consume what the world consumers. Teach the children and teach then well to live in the health food store. My children, do, and so do I. If I cannot afford the products lke fish, and chicken that are organic, chemical free; notice the word CHEMICAL free. I soak eerything dealing with meat in apple cider vinegar. vinegar is the cure all of many bacterias, virus, and fungus. Next, garllic,is the King of the kitchen, along with onions. America has become the land of obesity, ADHD, of children, because the real farm is real food. The brain needs serotonin, and dophamine along with other nerve reactors, and when many are over stimulated with toxic sugars, and junk this is the reacton of over reactiveness. The body needs at leat 33 vitamins to function properly. This was coming from our food, noe the top soil humus, is full of insectides, fungucides, and chemical overkill. Diid you know that the was on most of the fruit and vegetables in many supermarkets are coated with Carobonga car wax! That's right car wax! Are fruits and vegetables, cars, or metal containments. I will have some organic books out, called the Organ Organics. Children have developing brains, thus herbs, olive oil, good fruits, and vegetables, and less red meat altogether must me eliminated, unless organic. Why? Cows should not be eating cows, and should not be piled up in factory farms, without space to roam. Remember the Oprah Winphrey lawsuit, in Texas over the cow industry! Nothing has changed.
You must change, our food is our finance for future. Remember to educate your kids on the Bible. Make know of the 4 Hebrew boys, who refused to eat the same food as the princes, and the king. So, they negotiated with the advisors. It goes like this, let us eat our vegetables, and pray. There goes the root words PRAY, and a month later they were healtier, and stronger. Kingdom killers to keep your own beliefs,and not join the World, of wrongness, because the Companies run the world. who will run your household, now and forever more. Peace, Love, and lots of elbow grease, get on your armor, the battle is still goin on. The battle is not yours in the Spiritual Realm is is the Lords. Fear not, read about how to put put your Armor on and fight, for the fight of yourchildren, you and your loved ones: Ephesians 6:11 -6:17. Know what you are battling, how will they understand the word, if they are not taught. Of all things, get an understand! Wisdom, Judge Debra, and a Woman Will Lead Them!

Hello Ms. Jen,
Presumably you are talking about Black American children I assume since our race is at the bottom of everything bad, am I right.
I am asking you this question before I continue, is that okay with you?
You said this, “Our children are very bright - let's give them a chance to live their lives without medication.”
Do you realize being a Black American you cannot prevent what White America intends to do to you as well as our children, am I right. Black Americans are entirely helpless, am I right.
Since you are a woman of the cloth you ought to be crying out to God or holding God responsible for the conditions of Black Americans, am I right.
As God helped the Children of Israel, why would you not believe that God could help Black Americans the same?
Sister Jacqueline, I agree with you entirely about kids needing a choice in their education. I myself dropped out in tenth grade and went to work. I subsequently got my 4 year degree though and had much success in my career. College was a whole different thing than pre-college, the difference being that I wanted to learn, and could pick the subjects that interested me. Motivation is what it is all about. I clearly remember one eighth grade teacher writing on my report card that I would never amount to anything because I was always looking out the window dreaming. Dreaming is the key to creativity, and I often wish he could see just how wrong he was.
I am now studying middle school math in preparation for teaching it. It has been over 30 years, so I need a thorough review, but I am thinking as I study, how am I going to teach this?. Math has got to be the hardest subject to teach. And there are many sample problems I can easily solve, but when I then look at the explanations offered they are entirely over-complicated. It seems things are even worse than when I was studying this material in junior/senior high.
I would like to teach Computer Science to high schoolers. I can hardly think of a more practical subject in this day and age. But Special Education Math is where I am needed, so I will take it as a challenge, and start a computer club on the side for those who are interested in the practical side of math.

Thanks For All the Great Comments to this blog!
To clarify for you Brother Harry regards what kids I mean, I mean all kids who are placed on these harmful medications because we are all God's creations.

Hello Ms. Jen,
You said this, “I mean all kids who are placed on these harmful medications because we are all God's creations.”
I think I understand that you want to be a perfect person especially when I reflect back on your warped compassion for those insensitive teachers that were fired in California.
Ms. Jen you cannot be this perfect person as you may think that Jesus was a perfect person as well since we should be committed to the well-being of our own kinds first and then be committed to others.
For instance, God sent Moses to save his own kinds. Consequentially, Moses was concerned about the Children of Israel, am I right. Likewise, when God sent Prophet Jesus into this world, Prophet Jesus was sent to reform his own kinds, which was the house of Israel, am I right.
Ms. Jen a perfect person always winds up being imperfect and that is how God created things to be since God is the only perfect entity there is, am I right.
Ms. Jen, be concerned about your own first, Black Americans are suffering from a many wrongs. Now, while you are concerned about your own it does not mean that you not concerned about others as well.
Suppose God offers Black Americans complete independence on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country could we then be in a position to control our own education?
Would this be something you would want Black Americans to be able to control our own education?
Premise: If a person has a perfect answer to every question, then that person is perfect. Conclusion: Harry has a perfect answer to every question, therefore Harry is perfect.

Hello Steve,
You said this, “Harry has a perfect answer to every question, therefore Harry is perfect. “
I think you missed it when I said that the only perfect entity is God and I am not God.
I believe what you meant to say is that Harry usually has a better answer.
The wisdom and understanding that I have is what God has given to me since I am Black Americans first genuine prophet. It would be necessary that my wisdom and understanding be above Black Americans whom I am to lead into sovereignty on a portion of this continent as well as being above White America’s wisdom that will be affected by Black America’s sovereignty, am I right.
Was not Moses made wiser than his own people and Pharaoh as well since Moses was God anointed one to lead the Children of Israel out of bondage in Egypt? Now if God did not make Moses wiser, continuously inspire, and guide him then how could he have the authority to lead the Children of Israel and overcome the hurdles of Pharaoh? Moses could not unless God made him wise and stayed with him as it is for me. Have I made any sense with you, Steve?
So, it is not that my answers are perfect, but that my answers are better than your questions, okay.
But Brother Harry, Moses had his captains did he not? Joshua for instance. And his brother Aaron, whom God placed at his side because he was a better speaker. So Moses was not a one man show, am I right? And Moses also committed the sin that kept him from the promised land. That sin was pride, or lack of faith, it is hard to say which.

Hello Steve,
You said this, “But Brother Harry, Moses had his captains did he not?”
It seems to me you believe that exactly the way things happened with Moses must also happen with me. Steve, you must have a bit more common sense.
The essence of the story of Moses and the Children of Israel is the same as Harry and Black Americans. However, expecting that the circumstances of Black Americans to play out exactly as it played out with Moses and the Children of Israel is being a bit naïve, am I right Steve?
For instance, Moses left the country of Egypt while I am promoting and advocating that Black Americans will not leave this continent. Instead, a portion of this continent Black Americans will inherit that we could call our very own country with borders.
However, both outcomes require the intervention of God.
[Brother Harry, Premise: If a person has a perfect answer to every question, then that person is perfect. Conclusion: Harry has a perfect answer to every question, therefore Harry is perfect.]
Thank you Brother Steve for this very brillant comeback to Brother Harry's warped analysis!! KUDOS to you Steve:)
As a RN, I have a compassion for all people & children are the nearest to my heart. As Sister DeBerry stated: [Teach the children and teach them well! We are all Gods children big and small. But the future is moving fast! A child will lead them.]
Someone forgot the subject of the blog Brother Harry, and it was not Sister Jen. Did you forget to take your meds?

Hello Steve,
It was me confused another blog with this blog. Thank you for the correction.
Nevertheless, I am pretty sure you would agree with me that after 500 years of slavery and subjugation I am so very happy that Black Americans are now coming into the opportunity to educate our own children by becoming a sovereign people on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders.
What is most important is to control the destiny of our own education since White America have failed terribly, am I right.
Ms. Jen and others does not realize that the first step to teach our children well is to have control of our own children, am I right.
Therese! We do not have control over anything including our children’s education. Now, you think about it, okay. We do not have control over anything. We do not have control over our own lives. Where have you been all your life?
When we will have control, over our lives is when we become a sovereign people or have complete independence from White America on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders to pursue life, liberty, happiness and prosperity.
Good for you Kelli. A 4 yr. old? My God, what are we coming to?

Hello Rev. Jacqueline,
I understand your mindset and the serenity prayer hit the nail on the head.
In other words, you ought to deal with what grieves you, that should be the condition, and plight of your people, Black Americans who are descendents of slaves, am I right.
You cannot change the earthquakes and tornadoes. But, you can cry out to God as the Children of Israel did in their grief and darkest hour to God for help and look for a sign of help from God in the way of a genuine prophet that would lead us out of this plight that we are in and into sovereignty or complete independence from White America on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders to pursue life, liberty, happiness and prosperity in our own way.
Did not God do this for the Children of Israel by first sending them Prophet Moses? Who then is our prophet, Rev. Jacqueline?
You said this, “I believe it starts with each of us.”
Rev. Jacqueline, how could anything start with us when we are a people for the past 500 years old waiting the help of God, so how could you believe that it starts with us?
For instance, take Moses and the Children of Israel. How could you believe that there Exodus started with each of them when they were eight people in slavery and bondage 400 years? Do you not suppose that after 400 years of slavery and bondage it would cause us to become an ignorant people that only God could help us, am I right?
No Rev. Jacqueline, our situation is the same as what the Children of Israel’s situation was. Nothing starts with each of us. We need the help of God. We need to become a sovereign people or have complete independence from White America on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders to pursue life, liberty, happiness and prosperity in our own way. We need the same help from God that God gave to the Children of Israel, am I right.
I am Black America’s first genuine prophet that would lead us into sovereignty or complete independence on a portion of this continent. I am to Black Americans what Moses was to the Children of Israel. Am I making any sense with you, Rev. Jacqueline?
Again, Rev., we need God, okay. Hold God responsible, okay. Cry out to God, okay. The first indication that God have intervened is when we have a genuine prophet to talk to and interact with, right.
Is not it the same thing that t God did for the Hebrew people when God anointed Moses and sent him back Egypt to redeem his people? Of course, I am right. Therefore, I am misleading you, Rev. Jacqueline.
Well, let me ask you this question. Do you think that if we, as Black Americans was left to ourselves, do you think that we would be having the problems that we have today?
In other words, suppose God would intercede in our affairs as God interceded in the affairs of the Children of Israel when they were in bondage and slavery in Egypt do you think we would do better than we are doing now?
Let me remind you that you did not answer my question. However, I will answer yours.
Noble Drew Ali was a man in the 1930s that advocated Black American’s sovereignty under the Moroccan flag. His ideology is very different from mines as my communication and guidance directly come from God the same as with Moses. I do not advocate or promote any people other than Black Americans in our sovereignty on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders to pursue life, liberty, happiness and prosperity in our own way.
In other words, God will not free us just to go under the under the authority of other people who are not of our kinds, we are not Moroccan people. We are a new breed or race of people that has emerged out of the ashes of slavery. Black Americans are the newest race of people to be included in humanity as Japanese, Chinese, Nigerians or Caucasians are.
Now, do you suppose that if God does for Black Americans as God did for the Children of Israel do you think that would make us a real people of the 500 years of slavery and ignorance?
Tell me what you think, but first answer my question that do you not think that if God would do for us as God did for the Children of Israel would this resolve our problems permanently?
Please, let me ask you this question. Do you understand the fundamentals to the story of the Children of Israel and Moses?
The essence is that Moses came to get his people out of the subjugation and influences that the Egyptian people had on his people from religion, health care to education, am I right.
So, when I asked you the question that if God do for us what was done for the Hebrew people would we be better off than we have been for the past 500 years.
In other words, supposing God made it so that we would come into a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders as a sovereign nation would we be better off across the board than we have been for the past 500 years?
