[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter has ADHD and dyslexia. You blaming me for that is pretty disgusting.[/quote]

I’m not sure who you’re talking to — maybe the PP who said poor parenting? I’m curious what you mean by “blaming”. Would you consider it blaming if it turns out you and your spouse have gene variants that combined to increase the risk for one or both of these diagnoses? They do go hand in hand fairly often.

There are so many genes that influence brain development, cognition, and behavior. And they interact with the environment which can include parenting. I think if we knew more about all of this, and if we had more widespread genetic testing, we would all have a better understanding of why we and/or our kids have various diagnoses. And there would be a lot less blame and guilt along with more resources to help parents learn how they can influence their children’s outcomes positively. [/quote]

I'm really interested in your "scientific" assessment of disabilities and I'm really curious what parenting can influence a child's dyslexia? Just curious, since you seem to think you know a lot. [/quote]

Stop centering yourself here. I was referring more to ADHD. Go ahead and look up the literature on parenting styles,  parenting interventions, and outcomes for ADHD. Here’s just one study to get you started: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18392155/ .

I bet a ton of money I know more than you. But you think you have all the answers because of your experience with your one dyslexic child. You clearly have a massive chip on your shoulder. I’m sure that does affect your child whether you realize it or not.[/quote]

That study points to certain parenting styles exacerbating oppositional and conduct problems in kids who have already been diagnosed with ADHD.

It does not argue that parenting styles cause ADHD. [/quote]
