I am so grateful for that!!! My daughter is 7 y/o & she is currently being evaluated to see if she has ADHD; I am afraid that she strongly shows the signs of it. She is also taking Ballet & enjoys it. I was so surprised when everything you mentioned in your article about what kids with ADHD do during a ballet class, my daughter does all of them - she is just like 'Alice' from your example. My husband & I were contemplating whether to remove her from ballet & changing her to Gymnastics, which she actually enjoys more. Elizabeth loves to dance to any type of music so I wanted her to learn the basics of ballet because I beleive ballet is the foundation of all dance. I am so torn at what to do because it would be a life-altering decision we would make for her. I do not know if her current teacher would alter her classroom just for her - I dont see other girls fidgeting, distracted, etc. This ballet company teaches girls up to 18 years old so the little girls are being trained for solos on stage, etc. Most of the girls in this company go on to study professionally. This company just performed the Nutcracker at our city's mayor Theater. I dont know if we should keep her in ballet (I feel it is too slow for our daughter). I would appreciate any feedback you may have. Thank you a MILLION for your article! Would you have any other references and/or suggestions. Congratulations on your new book! How exciting! I want our daughter to be passionate about reading also. I am an applied mathematics major myself, so I am trying to instill reading as much as I can. Hi Dena,

I see that I'm not the first to ask this, but I hope you will return to Syanthe's world soon. Jerel is an interesting character and I want to see the aftermath of the King's death. No pressure, of course!<br/>Savannah<br/>schortsavannah@yahoo.com Ms. Landon, I just finished your book today and I loved it.
