[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, what about a hypothetical kid who has OCD and insists that his peaches be on a separate plate from his pancakes?

Is that "poor behavior"?   Does it require "parenting" to change that behavior?

The problem with this example is that there are many, many kids WITHOUT OCD who insist on this as well.  It's a parents job to say no.[/quote]

This makes no sense.  if it is OCD, a parent shouldn't just say no.  As I wrote before, that doesn't stop the intrusive thoughts and just causes suffering.  If it is OCD, the parent should take the child to a medical professional for treatment.

There are a lot of kids who have no diagnosis at all, and are happy and well-adjusted and have friends and don't fixate on things and have empathy and don't perseverate and also ask to have their peaches on a separate plate from their pancakes.  Yes, you are a genius to identify that.  But it isn't what this thread about, that isn't OP's child.

Do you have a child with special needs?  How do you feel when another parent judges you because of your child's behavior?  If you don't have a child with special needs and have never been in that position, perhaps that explains your lack of empathy.  And, once again, no one is advocating that OP should tolerate this behavior.  But she isn't going to solve it without professional help and all your judging may make you feel superior but it isn't going to help.[/quote]
