Welcome to The Dashing Dot's Blog

Welcome all to The Dashing Dots Blog!

        Hey everyone! We are so glad to have our first blog for "The Dashing Dot's Creative Learners." I know that might sound funny to state but we are new to the blog community, though we are new we are going to offer something to the world of Parenting. The Dashing Dot's Creative Learners is a small group of parents, with some help from our close doctor friends as well that is working on creating a new form of learning for Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder a.k.a. ADHD. The Dashing Dot's Blog is here to offer Parents of Children with ADHD new ideas, management techniques, social community where we share personal and professional information to help our children.

      The Dashing Dot's Creative Learners was founded by Edward Lawrence, who has suffered with the severest form of ADHD his entire life. Alongside his personal experience with the disorder, he has a daughter who has the severest form of ADHD herself. Edward Lawrence is committed into ensuring that all children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder receive the attention they deserve, and have the materials needed to help with the management of their ADHD.

     The Dashing Dot's was selected by Edward Lawrence himself, while he was researching academic materials for a journal article. As he began sifting through the pages of information, he came across a document about Thomas Edison. As he began to read, he came over a paragraph describing how many children he had and what their names were. It mentioned the two eldest children Marion Estelle Edison, and Thomas Alva Edison Jr because of the fact they were born so close together, though they were not twins. It stated that their nicknames that their father Thomas Alva Edison gave them were "Dot" which was Marion and "Dash" which was Thomas Jr.

    Edward began to research further into these nicknames, and the history of Thomas Edison, where he found an article that states The Wizard of Menlo Park or the Great Inventor was the poster child of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Once this had been discovered, the group of parents decided on "The Dashing Dot's" which can signify the hyperactivity and the numerous amounts of children it affects.

   Edward Lawrence is currently working on publishing a new form of children’s books, and parenting books. The Parenting Books will focus on providing adequate information, ideas and understanding to parents who have children with ADHD, The Children’s Books will be under a series titled "The Dashing Dot's Creative Learning & Activity Books". These children’s books will offer a stimulating form of learning, fun healthy eating, short stories, puzzles and daily life essentials. It is to help parents get their child’s ADHD managed.

We believe that together we can conquer a disorder, and turn it into an asset. Welcome to "The Dashing Dot's Blog”, thank you for beginning this journey for children with ADHD.

Sincerely,

Wendy Coast
