[quote=Anonymous]I agree that she needs more of your attention even if there's an underlying problem. It might take a while to change the behaviors she's learned, especially seeking negative attention. Don't be dismayed or give up if she does better for a little while, then reverts to her old ways. Be patient and consistent. Also, the posters who said if she behaves well in school, it isn't add. Some kids are only able to hold themselves together during school, then they have nothing left to give at home and do a poor job listening at home. ADD is a complicated beast, and if you don't have personal experience with it, it's hard to understand. It sounds like a convenient excuse, but it's real and it's so difficult to manage, especially if you're not supported or medicated. [/quote]
