[QUOTE="Christy, post: 159445, member: 225"] My son's latest lament is "I'm not like other kids." He uses this as an excuse for any number of behaviors. He used the excuse with the therapist last week and her response to him, "Learn to be." difficult child was baffled by the response. I'm not sure that he realizes that it is possible to change. Yes, it is harder for him that for a "normal" child to make good choices but still possible. The other day, he asked after he had come down from a meltdown, "Why is my life so damn hard?" We talked about bipolar disorder and how his brain is wired differently but then I remnded him that sometimes he makes good choices. And that he is lucky because he does have the power to make changes in his behavior even if it's hard. A blind person can't make himself see. Someone who is permanently paralyzed can't make himself walk. But, he CAN make himself do the right thing sometimes. [/QUOTE]
