[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 232261, member: 805"] TM, have you looked to see if there is a support or information site that directly relates to pediatric allergies/asthma? Since you believe that her difficult child issues are directly related to the asthma and allergy issues, I wonder if there is a place that offers suggestions that specifically relate to her health issues? The difficult child status, in my opinion, goes hand in hand with the inability to look outside yourself! I believe that is what makes parenting a difficult child so difficult. Surely we can teach our difficult children lessons about helping in the community and such. But when it comes to specifically addressing the "victim" mentality of our difficult children, it's like pulling teeth or talking to a brick wall. Certainly addressing the blessings and fortune of her place in life is a start. Exposing her to the issues that other less fortunate children (in regards to health) deal with is another good thing. If you were to find a support site or such that deals with allergies/asthma issues at her level would be of great benefit. There very well could be stories from young teens and their ability to overcome allergies/asthma that she might relate to. I know this was really important for one of difficult children best friends when she was diagnosis'd with diabetes in third grade. She was able to go and do games and read stories from other kids who shared her health issues. Sharon [/QUOTE]
