[quote=Anonymous]ADHD child here -- definitely impulse control problems leading to lies and a few instances of stealing. Honestly, your child is showing embarrassment and shame and that's about all any eight year old shows when they are cuaght doing these things. I think a neurotypical kid would also move on the next day and want to start anew. I'm not saying don't work on it -- of course you must -- but I don't know that trying to talk/explain their way out of it or trying to get past the negative feelings aren't perfectly normal for an eight year old. The impulse thing is really tough and it can lead to some behavior which is very distresssing and embarrassing for you, the parent. I truly sympathize. But maybe you could look into socio-emotional development for neurotypical kids and my guess is you will be "reassured" by your child's reactions.[/quote]
