[QUOTE="april1974, post: 435082, member: 12128"] I'm just learning about adhd, odd, etc and trying to figure out what is counter productive and what isn't, while building a relationship on trust. sometimes it's easier to just be direct, short and sweet, make ds return the toy, explain why we can't steal and move on. can I share a memory? Remember this is back in the 70's where kids had more freedom to roam neighborhoods, going to the store was something all of us kids did back then. when I was 6 I asked my mom if I could have the empty pop bottles so I could take them to the corner store get the refund for the glass and buy candy, she said no, I went into her wallet took out a bill and went to the store anyways, the store called my mom, they found it unusual for me to have a bill and not change, my mom came up to the store dragged me home by my ear down the street in front of everyone and proceeded to beat me in my bedroom with a leather purse while my sister stood in the door way crying for her to stop(sister was 10/11) I think I wore my mom down, I will never forget how I felt when she did that, so small and completely terrified of her. I did things that when I look back I think were completely normal, stealing, lieing, have energy, I wasn't bad, I was smart and active, busy and curious. I'm not sure why I'm sharing this story, I just thought I would share the memory of a child who stole something, but I never meant any harm, I just wanted my needs met, and candy was what I wanted in that moment, not to disapoint my mom or be bad. It was impulsive. [/QUOTE]
