[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The insight about self esteem is also very helpful. Someone else told me a similar thing - that the negative feedback they get from those around them - as a result of impulsivity they can’t control - makes the kids feel bad about themselves and gradually fulfill the expectation that they are “problematic” or “difficult.”[/quote] +1 OP this was a major consideration for us. My son was diagnosed young, and eventually medicated young a well and this was a primary motivator for us. Our therapist said that one of the most important things to keep an eye on is how much negative feedback and correction they are getting, that protecting their self esteem/confidence is key because otherwise it leads to what can be even bigger problems of depression and anxiety in later years. Our child was having very significant emotion regulation issues though. But for us it has been very worth it.[/quote]
