[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 267432, member: 6546"] Colleen-- My own difficult child has extremely poor impulse control....and from what I understand, impulse-control issues are common in individuals with ADHD. And from my point of view, it really doesn't matter whether difficult child regrets her action the next day, or can talk it out with a therapist later in the week, or can give me a textbook answer as to why putting her hands on another is wrong--[I]she will do it again[/I]. And so my own solution is very strict supervision. Even though she is nearly fourteen, I cannot trust her to conduct herself with the maturity level of an average fourteen-year-old. Until your son is really under control, and has a handle on his own impulses....you must act as though this will happen again and you must be prepared to intervene at a moment's notice....for everyone's safety. --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
