Distracted November 24, 2010

Are we so tuned in to our info-rich, 24-7 world that we've tuned out the things that really matter? Jesse is eight and easily distracted, but so are his mother, father, neighbors and even the doctors. When Jesse is diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder, the question becomes what to do about it? Is it caused by over stimulation, bad parenting, too many chemicals in the food, or is he just a kid in an ADD world? In their fractured, fast paced, overly wired lives the consequence is almost inevitable. 'Distracted' is a fast-paced and comic look at parenting in the age of the Internet and Ritalin.
