[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 569046, member: 59"] Thank you for posting this, it was very interesting. Those moms were very brave to tell their stories, and very similar to my story, with the tantrums that lasted hours and the not fitting in and the impulsiveness. A couple things struck me including the fact that all these moms expressed the fact that they did get help for their child but the professionals did not know how to help and in some cases made it worse. I agree with that. We only found one therapist that did any good and she was one who taught difficult child how to do yoga and calm herself down and also look at her behavior and try to find other ways in dealing with her disappointments and frustrations. The other thing that really struck me was the fact that at least two of these moms sent their child to a boarding school or residential treatment centers for an extended period of time. That seems to be the one thing that helped their child in learning skills to manage their behavior. I can't help but think that option is not available to most parents because of the cost. Perhaps what needs to be done is to make this option available through our health care system if the child is diagnosed properly. I thought Dr. Greene was right on when he said that professionals need to learn a different way of dealing with these children and do a better job identifying them. I knew very early on that my difficult child needed help, just as these moms did, but the professionals had no idea what to do. I hope these discussions continue in our society so that real progress can be made. [/QUOTE]
