[QUOTE="Josie, post: 85649, member: 1792"] According to difficult child's psychiatrist, this is exactly right. The example he gave was a boy with ADHD needs to stimulate the dopamine in his brain, so he stabs a kid with a pencil. The stimulants work on the dopamine so the child doesn't have to find another way. I have had many fun outings ruined by that kind of thing. It is always harder for me when a friend is along to say we can't get any popcorn because they spent their money. At least the friend noticed that difficult child's behaviour was over the top with the nagging. Maybe a little peer pressure will help. Since you are working on the girlfriend/CF diet, I will add that we don't get the movie popcorn anymore because there is something in it that makes my former difficult child turn back into the real difficult child. She gets candy instead. Just a thought for next time, if you are still doing the diet. [/QUOTE]
