[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, first, I would stop beating yourself up about this. It happens. Second, it's hard with some kids to stay out of 'reactive' mode.

Right now, it sounds like you are running from fire to fire. Take some time to formulate a plan for dealing with his behavior. It's said that 'all behavior is communication'. What does his behavior say to you. If he is acting out in school, what might need changed there? 
If he is [b]lying and manipulating [/b]at home, what changes can be made?

I strongly recommend a book called, 'The Explosive Child', by Dr. Ross Greene. It's an amazing approach to kids with difficult behaviors. It's not targeting to any one diagnosis but rather any child struggling with behavior and emotional regulation. There is also a website, www.livesinthebalance.org, that explains the concepts in more detail. It was life-changing for us. [/quote]

ADHD doesn't cause that type of behavior. Putting aside the over diagnoses of that condition and exaggeration of its impacts not to mention how it has become a scape goat of under performing upper/middle children; I suspect you will want to lose it a more often and consistently with your 11 year old or it will only get worse as they age.

As always I could be wrong and your results may vary.[/quote]

ADHD CAN cause that type of behavior.  At the very least it shows that the person has a lack of impulse control.[/quote]
