[quote=Anonymous]Isn’t it too early to diagnose at that age. My kids elementary school teachers told me my kids were likely acting out at home, since they were so well- behaved at school. Which they were. I found it was important to (1) Pick my battles, let go of most stuff (2) Praise them when they are in the other room and you are talking to someone else so they over hear it. (3) Look for things to appreciate while trying to ignore the other stuff (4) Give them chores so they learn they can provide value and praise them for helping out the family. Kids need / want attention. If you don’t give the attention for things they do well, then they will create a problem so you do give them attention. With one of my kids I had to let tons of go that normally I didn’t want to let go, but that kid need a real reset. If the kid and the parent are both hard-headed and stubborn it get into a real difficult pattern and the parent needs to learn to drop the rope.[/quote]
