Parenting those with ADD symptoms is ultimately like parenting any child: you accommodate your biblical instruction to the child’s abilities. Parenting children who are like us is relatively straightforward because we instinctively understand their strengths and weaknesses. But children whose strengths and weaknesses are out of the mainstream require more careful observation and creative teaching. Remember that these children too have God-given strengths, and whatever weaknesses they have will not slow their growth in the things that are most important.

Edward Welch
Der US-amerikanische Psychologe und Theologe Edward T. Welch lehrt seit 1981 an der Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation sowie am Westminster Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania. Er gilt als einflussreiche Stimme der biblisch-reformierten Seelsorgebewegung zu Themen wie Depression, Scham und Angst, wobei die Skepsis dieses Ansatzes gegenüber säkularen psychiatrischen Modellen fachlich debattiert wird. Bibellesern vermitteln seine Schriften eine seelsorgliche Lebenshilfe, die emotionale Nöte und zwischenmenschliche Konflikte aus einer dezidiert biblischen Perspektive deutet.
