[QUOTE="compassion, post: 234790, member: 6393"] Another fav book of mine is What Works for Bipolar Kids. The author states that only 1.1% of bipolar kids have history of sexual abuse. Nearly half of bipolar kids express traits of hypersexuality.They exhibit poor judgement and take excessive risks. Provocative behavior leads to sexual behavior which can have painful consequences. The author emphasizes that it is important to address this issue when coaching and teaching your child. It is vital to teach ways of dealing with dissapointment, healthy forms of approval seeking with a heavy emphasis on self approval and healhy ways to seek attentiion. It is important to establish the boundaries of accetable and unacceptable behavior to provide a steady set of values when the mania hits. I try and reenforce good judgement, to set boundaries so that there is anet and guidance around excessive risks. Dealing with the kind of messages provocative behavior sends and the painful consequences. I try to keep the focus on her, to deal with hurt and dissopointment by owning it with I messages. It is about inner self approvala and self esteem. She has trouble taking in the positive. Her coach keeps raving how she is the best and she has trouble owning that. Healthy ways to seek attention include sharing interests like guitar playing. She needs very clear cut: It is unaccetable for a 19 year old to date a 15 year old. Spontaneous,experimental, and anonmympus choices lead to pain, embarrment,regret. She did see her friend last night. A group went to the movies. i am reinforcing odat:you are not choosing high risk,spontanaeity,and experimental today. [/QUOTE]
