[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 7122, member: 2211"] My nephew was once throwing a little temper tantrum when he was about 16...it started with a request to unload the dishwasher and take out the garbage, just like every other Wednesday. He said he forgot, then he got mouthy and then when my sister lost her patience and screamed at him, "Why did you remember last week but all this week you are forgetting things? What's wrong with you??" My nephew responded with, "Mom, I know it's hard for your to understand, but my frontal lobe hasn't quite finished growing, so even though I'm capable to all that stuff, it doesn't mean I will be able to follow through..." and laughed. My sister suggested a few things that would happen to his frontal lobe if he didn't get his b.u.t.t in gear and take out the garbage! Good article, thanks for sharing it. It sure helps to understand a few things with my dds. [/QUOTE]
