[QUOTE="donna723, post: 501989, member: 1883"] I wondered too about how the boy was doing in school because there was no mention of it at all. He's eight so he's been in school for at least three years. They mentioned that he was on ADHD medications but not anything about any professional help they may be getting for him other than that. It almost seems like these shows pick rather easily fixed cases where anyone can see that the parents are making HUGE mistakes. In this case, the parents said that they "didn't know where the ADHD left off and the bad behavior started" so they did virtually nothing (other than duck when he threw things at them)! There was no discipline, never any consequences for the bad behavior, and the eight year old was pretty much running the show and holding the whole family hostage with his rages. And if that wasn't enough, they treated him like he was a toddler, even dressing him in the mornings while he was laying in bed because he didn't want to get up! These shows really annoy me because they give the impression that it's [I]always[/I] the parents fault, that there are no children with genuine issues - only clueless parents, and that all these problems can be solved in a half-hour TV show by making the parents see the error of their ways!
