  1. New York City Thinking about sending my 8-year-old dd to camp at the Riverdale Country School. Any feedback?...(more) 8 hr 29 min ago (0 replies)
    Also, I live in Riverdale, but don't know any families sending kids to the camp. Is it all Manhattan kids? Will she make friends or does everyone know each other from school? And what is the camp like? I know it has new ownership, but would appreciate feedback from past years regardless. Thanks!

    My child was recently diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety. Has anyone not had success with a stimulant? We have tried 3 different drugs and the rebound after a day of restrained behavior was AWFUL. Like total breakdowns with crying, hysteria, aggression. Our Dr. seems to want to try yet another stimulant but I am wondering if others have had success with other drugs and what your experiences might be? Thank you!

It is a little more money and closer to home. I accepted this offer. I am at a loss of words as to what to say to my current bosses (they are very nice). My new boss wants me to come in tomorrow but start in a few weeks.
