[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone really find the “motivation” for this type of behavior? My kid never opens up with a therapist, she deems everything too private. Which easily could be code for she didn’t know herself, so throws that out there. [/quote] Deflection. The kid believes it’s easier or in high standing to be argumentative than to address the actual weakness or issue (anxiety, confused, shutdown mode, overwhelm, forgot to do something, failed at something). [/quote] I would say that the kid does not have the skills and perhaps awareness to address the actual issue. She isn’t choosing this.[/quote] That’s the thing. She’d rather temper tantrum than go through the discomfort of mom or doctors or others addressing the actual issue. Right now no one knows what the actual issue is. A psychologist needs to be walked through these episodes and through the lens of the child’s diagnoses. [/quote]
