[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 408327, member: 4040"] I watched the interview this evening, and I felt the boy was very controlled, but his eyes were all over the place while talking. And there was a huge focus on "keeping away the evil energy,"and how he feels he has everything under control now because he's perfect the way he is. I totally disagree with telling kids they're perfect just the way they are. First, there is no motivation to make any kind of necessary change if their perfection is over-emphasized. Second, it puts an enormous amount of pressure on a child, who may not feel perfect, but feels the need to be as perfect as possible for someone else's standard. The mom also blamed the drugs for her child's difficulties now, not really saying if they were necessary at the time, or will they be needed again. At least the older boy they mentioned did emphasized parent support and the right medications were what helped him be successful. [/QUOTE]
