[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 605745, member: 805"] [FONT=comic sans ms][SIZE=3]At 6, it's normal that he "doesn't know who he is". He's had much [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=comic sans ms][SIZE=3]upheaval in his short life but bigger than that, at his age he believes he is the center of the universe. As kids begin to go to school, I'm talking kindergarden and higher, they begin to learn the lesson that they are not the center and what is best for the group is what makes decision, not what is best for them. It is a natural part of life made more difficult for many of our difficult children. There is absolutely nothing wrong with your difficult child knowing about his adhd. My difficult child knew from the very beginning; it was part of the whole rode to success - along with behavior mod at home, BIP at school, medications, weekly and then monthly talk therapy, and much more. He knew because he had to do things differently from his peers. He acted differently from the other students, he handled and processed things differently than the other students, and talking to him about his challenges and how to work on them was the beginning of making him aware. If they aren't aware they can't react change. It's how you say not what you say. It's not giving him an excuse for his behavior it's showing him how to change his behavior. There are hundreds of thousands of difficult children that are raised in tough or unsupportive cultures. It's what we do with what we are given that makes the difference. Most of our difficult child's behaviors get worse before they get better as they begin to age. It's one of the reasons that early intervention is so very important. Here's hoping for a more productive school year. Sharon [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
