More and more parents reach their limits while raising their children and feel overloaded. We do not talk about it much as the people that are affected by it feel ashamed. The children show out of control- emotional reactions, having a difficult time concentrating, behave aggressive, and cross set boundaries. In between, they feel depressed, see no meaning of life, and maybe even contemplate suicide. In most of those cases the children will be quickly diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

The "other" side of these children is their above average intelligence, their highly creativity and sensitivity, their unusual presence as well as their ability to break out of the norm and to develop new things. For these reasons, Elsbeth Maurer calls them "CHILDREN of LIGHT".
