[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] &lt;&lt;All 3 of my children have their own set of issues&gt;&gt;

Previous poster -- not to hijack this thread -- but how do you cope? Both my kids have issues -- one much more significant than the other -- but both have school intervention of some kind. I find this very difficult to deal with -- if one kid needs it, its just a fluke, but both must indicate bad parents, right?

And the line that all kids have issues isnt helpful, because I have plenty of friends whose kids dont have issues.[/quote]

PP you quoted here.  I do it because I have to.  There is no way around it.  My older kids issues really didn't surface too badly until after my youngest was diagnosed with ASD.  My oldest is ADHD...very emotional, cannot focus on homework, defiant with my parenting.  But he is 12 now and he's maturing.

My middle child is out in lala land.  No diagnosis, but just not right.  She's 11 and I have to say that puberty is HELPING.

No, I don't believe it is parenting in the least.  Every time my older kids are at friend's houses, I get so many compliments on how well they behave and how polite they are.  That is different from a neurological condition though. Even my ASD DS says please and thank you as he's pushing you out of your chair to make you get him some juice.  I've always been on the stricter side of parenting.  Probably overly so in past years.  I've found that punishment doesn't work the same on my kids.  It only makes it worse.  It's not easy, but it WAS a lot worse.  My youngest is 7 now, so everyone is growing up....and trust me when I say that maturity will make things easier.[/quote]
