[quote=Anonymous] While kids with ADHD as well as OCD, Tourettes or anxiety often work very hard to hold it in at school or out in the public domain, it does not help them to be able to let off steam within the family setting or be totally out of control on a continual basis. Working with the child/teen's therapist to develop appropriate means of releasing tension or just plain pent up anger or frustration needs to be fashioned as well as a commonsense approach to appropriate behavior toward family members. It is important that no thinks a spouse or child later on should just "put up with their behavior" so the redirection and training needs to start in the home. And, yes, parents may well need respite or just time away to do things for themselves either together or each taking a break at different times. [/quote]
