[QUOTE="Allan-Matlem, post: 546310, member: 10"] medications are like ' scaffolding ' which allows building to take place , makes a kid more responsive to our teaching. Now medications are great , if you get the right medication, right dosage etc for things like inattention, hyperactivity , impulsivenss , mood= irritability etc but they don't teach kids how to think, plan ahead , problem solve etc or deal with frustration. medications don't teach the lagging skills that underly maladaptive behavior. I would go through the ALSUP list [url]http://www.livesinthebalance.org/sites/default/files/ALSUP.rev_.8-29-11.pdf[/url] , list her unsolved problems in detail and then see where medications can help Lying is a behavior , a symptom of lagging skills , trust etc and unsolved problems. When we solve the problems , there is no need to lie . When we engage in the collaborative problem solving process kids learn lagging skills. medications may be very helpful but even so , no parents want medications to be the long term solution. If you are looking at alternative treatments , it does not have to be natural medications but can include ' mindfulness , medidation, learning calming techniques . Older sisters, buddy-tutors ,mentors are great , maybe a personal coach instead of a therapist AllanKatz-parentingislearning [/QUOTE]
