[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 274117, member: 1550"] If you have health insurance, you can probably get a neuropsychologist evaluation. In the opinions of many of us, that is the best evaluation process that exists, since there are no blood tests. The testing is quite intensive. THe alternative to not "hearing it" is to have the child get progressively worse. NO, it is unlikely she will just "get with the program." Something is off with her and she needs evaluation, intervention and treatment. If you wait, you may be facing school failure, the police, drugs, and far worse things than a ten year old can think of to do. Lying is a symptom, not the problem. You don't want or need an out-of-control teen, and she's getting to that age. It is hard to be objective about our own kids. I would still seek out that neuropsychologist. You may need to ask the pediatrician for a referral, but I'd do it. [/QUOTE]
