[quote=Anonymous]I have a child like this - she just turned 15. She's anxious with a little hyperactive ADHD. My older child has inattentive ADHD, and is the opposite: extremely polite and patient at all times. Same parenting! I never get offended, but I just tell her to rein it in when I feel she's vituperated enough. And usually she does. If she doesn't, it means she's really hangry or tired or overwhelmed, and after she eats or sleeps, she calms down. Occasionally she goes so far that I demand an apology, and she always apologizes right on the spot. Interestingly, she has friends who are a lot more excitable, and she's a calming influence on them, tells THEM to rein it in, etc. Is she copying me? Ha. But since I'm the calm matire adult, she feels she can be the annoying person, I guess. So far it's been OK and I have felt the need to punish her. [/quote]
