Any idea why our kids steal and then deny doing it? No boundaries?

[QUOTE="klmno, post: 545759, member: 3699"] I don't think they know what the needs are and don't want to admit they have any and just simply aren't mature enough to be able to see this. Heck, I've met adults who couldn't see insde themselves enough to see things that were obvious to others. If these things in kids aren't even obvious to adults (in the sense of the problem) then we sure can't expect them to be that insightful. That's why we need good tdocs. Try finding one these days. That's my beef about the medications- not that they aren't needed sometimes but they sure aren't a substitute for a good therapist if the problem is more along the lines of skewed thinking or emotional coping instead of psychiatric in nature. I think there is an obvious trend with MH profs, DJ- with medications and bipolar and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)- just like it used to be adhd as a "default" diagnosis and practically any troubled child would meet the requirement for adhd if only those standard forms were used. That doesn't mean some kids or adults aren't truly adhd either but it's not fair to the ones who do have this problem to get slacked care just because it got over-diagnosis'd in our society so now it gets a lot of eyes rolling when someone mentions it.
