[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I once had a very experienced therapist tell me that if a kid can keep it together at school, there is nothing wrong with that kid. He/she knows how to regulate behavior when s/he wants to. (I don't mean to say there is never ANYTHING wrong with a child... the therapist's point is that any kid who can behave well at school COULD behave well at home if the conditions were right. The kid is not a sociopath.) They save their worst behavior for us! [/quote] That is totally not true, in my experience and in others I know. Often kids work very hard to keep it together at school and then fall apart once they get home. In our case, my DC had ADHD and anxiety, which was not diagnosed for many years. We didn't get great advice for a long time so unfortunately we spent many years with some very dysfunctional dynamics at home and DC spent many years feeling terrible.[/quote]
