[quote=Anonymous]Have you ever dealt with any behavioral/developmental challenges with your children? Having dealt with both behavioral/developmental and medical issues, I can say that medical issues are by far easier to deal with. Any kid who is in the system at 6 or 9 is going to have some serious psychological and trauma issues to work through. You don't get to pick and chose which ones you have to deal with -- learning, attachment, aggression, acting out, etc etc ... If you are not prepared to give SERIOUS, developmentally appropriate support (including likely intensive work with the school, possible development of an IEP) then you are not ready. [/quote]
