Fish for bluegill and other sunfish in the beginning. Sunfish (bream) are usually easy to catch because of their abundance and willingness to bite. Catching fish is important; size isn't.Plan a short trip depending on the age of the children. An hour or two is plenty for most youngsters.Pack a cooler with drinks and snacks.If you go in the summer, fish during the cooler parts of the day. Fish are usually more active in the morning and evening.Use a push-button spincast reel, but be flexible on how they fish. You may have planned to start with a bobber (float) and live bait, but you may find your budding angler wants to continually cast and reel. Instead of insisting on him sitting still and quiet, tie on an artificial ultra-light lure that they can cast and reel to their heart's desire.Teach basic skills like casting, knot tying and baiting the hook. Help a first-timer remove the hook from a fish. Hooks are sharp so supervision is advised. Some fish have sharp spines so be careful. Don't let a good experience turn into a painful one.Recognize all successes and achievements such as putting a bobber on or making a great cast. Always give pats on the back and never make...more

Is there an ADHD cure? The bad news is that there is no ADHD cure as such and certainly the psychostimulant drugs on their own are only one part of possible treatment. In addition, the same drugs have caused so much controversy that many parents steer clear of them altogether. This was made clear in a recent study by Consumer Reports .The researchers interviewed about 1,000 parents of ADHD children who were receiving treatment by medication. There were various views on how effective the medication was in alleviating symptoms of hyperactivity and impulsivity. But one figure stands out like a sore thumb in that report. About 40% said they really hoped there was an alternative to medication and they were still looking for an ADHD effective cure.Only 50% of the parents said that if they had to choose again, they would definitely choose medication with psychostimulants. More than three quarters of all the parents interviewed mentioned the side effects of these drugs, which they were obviously unhappy about.There were other interesting statistics in that report which can really point us in the right direction when we want to find the answer to the question, is there an...more
