[QUOTE="alongfortheride, post: 144804, member: 3817"] Mom is at the beginning of a long and difficult journey. It will take awhile for her to accept her child's limitations, struggles and future. She will play the blame game for a while before she realizes that these are not really normal behaviors. Because he is still young, I'm sure she feels he will mature out of them. It might even take years. I work with an elementary EBD program and the parents will usually come around when the child is in 3rd grade. Even given my profession, it took me a couple of years to really accept my sons issues for what they were and not something he'd outgrow. Without the concrete testing that an ID or Learning Disability (LD) label comes with, an ED label has a stigma (even for you!) and is subjective (maybe it's the teacher, maybe it's the school, maybe it's maturity, maybe if I change his diet, maybe if I disciplined differently, maybe, maybe, maybe). Good luck, tread softly and whatever you do, don't play the blame game with her. [/QUOTE]
