[QUOTE="P-nut2004, post: 422064, member: 11740"] Thank you all! I had the opportunity yesterday to talk to easy child 1 & easy child 2 separately about difficult child & although we had never really had a formal discussion about it before they seemed to have already grasped that she can't help most of her behavior. They both agreed to try to give me (& difficult child) less grief about whether things are 'fair'. Talking with difficult child is going to be a little more difficult and I'm still figuring out my approach. She recently started saying things like "I'm just dumb" or "I hate myself" when she gets into trouble and I want her to understand that she is not 'dumb' but she does have some difficulties that her sisters and her friends don't have. This morning my niece asked difficult child why she goes to a counselor and difficult children response was "It's fun" ........How & to what extent do you explain a child's diagnosis to them?? Should I even tell her at this age that she has any actual condition? or just tell her that she is different/ everyone has differences? [/QUOTE]
