[QUOTE="Andy, post: 218931, member: 5096"] Have you tried "The Manipulative Child"? It will not give you all the answers you are seeking but may help in how to handle the manipulation issues. Has your teacher asked about testing? You should talk to her and ask if she has had past experience in this type of behavior and how the parents dealt with it. If you have a real good doctor, you can ask him or her what you should do. However, many doctors do not like to admit that they don't have the answers and their first step may be to diagnosis as ADHD so that they can give a medication to try. When my son was falling apart Summer of 2007, his pediatrician doctor said, "I don't know what this is. I am going to treat the symptoms. I think it is anxiety so here is Zoloft." I refused to give my son medications on a "I don't know, I think". I asked for a referal. By the time I got into doctor #2, the referal stated difficult child was going for ADD! That doctor took less than 5 minutes to determine that difficult child was not ADD. It did end up as anxiety but I am still glad I made sure before giving a medication like Zoloft. Do what you feel is right. You see your child 24/7 so when a doctor who sees him for less than 1/2 hr makes a determination that does not feel right, push for more answers and assurance. We welcome you. I see this forum as a support to parents whose kids have a disorder in conduct. If there is a behavior problem than there is a problem that you are working on resolving. Hopefully we can make your life easier with support. We know that your child's behavior is not a reflection on you. We know that you love your child and are trying your best to make your child's life easier. If not, you wouldn't have found us. I hope you and difficult child is having a good evening. [/QUOTE]
