A) a post relating such positive experience from a woman discovering what she loves to do doesn't need a point! B) It is unmistakeably true what you have signalled.
As you know I 'm very much engaged in this subject through my son, and the (even worse) attention spans of children in schools catering to those with learning disabilities. However, specialised schools have more tools to cope with this alarming phenomenon of restive children (to put it mildly). Increasingly, normal schools are adopting similar methods (timers, pictogram schedules, shorter periods etc). Is there something in our (global/western) water? Is it also becoming a problem in India or China?
It isn't ONLY electro-magnetic waves and communication+sensory overload because far too large a proportion of these children really seem to have been born with ADD of one sort or another. (Maybe pregnant mothers are to blame! Yes, let's crack the whip out on mothers again, why not!) It has something to do with the sign of our times, and it reads like a "warning". We have to learn to take time and make it last longer (be bored once in a while!).
