Dear Colleagues:
Summer has arrived, and apart from tying to assimilate in my mind the recent proceedings at the APsaA June meeting, I have not assessed the world stage this week. I am certain that our website will generate some connection to the outside world so I hoe that you will enjoy the posts I am about to describe and also write your comments.

5) Having treated children and families for close to 4 decades, I am baffled by this particular post. Is it the increasing complexity of society and our times that is resulting in this type of a problem in children – or are we obsessed with labels and diagnoses. In my experience, daydreaming has always been a childhood defence. Please comment!!

8) Rightly described as ***The most touching video ever***, please watch the video about Sir Nicholas Winton who organised the rescue and passage to Britain of about 669 mostly Jewish
Czechoslovakian children destined for the Nazi death camps before World War II in an operation known as the Czech Kindertransport. This video is the BBC Programme “That’s Life” aired in 1988.
