[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 340654, member: 1550"] I agree that nine is young to be running away. in my opinion that's not a pre-teen or even near one. Each year is huge at that age and he is still a child. It's not normal behavior and in my opinion probably wont' respond to normal parental discipline, such as taking away things he likes. Beside just disciplining him have you thought of having him re-evaluated? I would take him to a NeuroPsychologist. Many of us feel they are the best diagnosticians because they actually do intensive testing rather than just family observations, their own quickie observations, and perhaps the Connors, which almost all kids with disorders pass. How were his early milestones and does he know how to interact appropriately with his same age peers? Are there any psychiatric disorders or substance abuse on either side of his family tree (genetic family tree). [/QUOTE]
