Rain in Istanbul

General Updates

Fragility of Life

When I say disaster I’m not only referring to something as massive as [...]

It also states that the habits remained the same as they grew up, so [...]

Distracted Teenagers with ADHD are more prone to Car Accidents

This study it seems was more on the effects of a specific medication and ADHD drivers. It seems that ADHD teens are a little more prone to distraction while driving than other groups of people. Who would have thought?

It’s something to remember when my kids get to be old enough to start asking to drive… [...]
