Brothers
Last night in class when we were talking about Behavior and Emotional Disorders I was thinking of two of my little brother. One name Micah and other Diavon. Micah is a sophomore in high school and Diavon is 18 years of age. Diavon we think is bipolar. He will flip on everyone around him when the time comes. Micah has a conduct disorder. He has gotten better. Micah has been on and off of medication. He is now in some regular classes in high school and finds enjoyment in cooking. Micah still has his days but he has gotten better over the years.

Having the opportunity to have a personal relationship - family - with someone who faces these type of challenges makes this so much more real. Finding positive strategies for everyone to interact with each other - regardless of what "pops up" is a key.
