[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 42530, member: 1550"] I don't doubt that some difficult child's don't care due to other reasons, but if this child MAY be alcohol exposed THAT could be the reason that THIS child is the way he is, and he should have that checked out carefully. I had a son with prenatal exposure to drugs/alcohol and that puts these kids at greater risk for many things, including organic brain damage due to alcohol ingestion (yes, alcohol is actually worse than cocaine, although they go together). I'm not saying ALL kids with those symptoms are alcohol exposed. Obviously most kids written about on this board were NOT exposed to prenatal substances. For those were, it is often a big part of the reason and the help is best gotten at a special clinic. Unfortunately, they don't have clinics everywhere, but there are more and more going up every day. Instead of falling through the cracks and ending up confused adults who don't know why they re-offend over and over again and can't "get it" it is a great relief for them to understand that it's not their faults, and to be under care so they can have help with self-control. I just finished reading a book about just this topic (adopted kids mostly who were exposed to alcohol, and are now adults who are talking about it). I wish I could remember the name, but I can't. It was eye opening though. [/QUOTE]
