[quote=Anonymous]OP, I understand what you're saying (now) about excuses. No matter the kid, it's the parenting that makes the difference with this. Please don't let this stop you from getting a diagnosis. We have a friend whose 6 year old son with ADHD is prone to being easily frustrated and hitting. With or without meds, this child still faces consequences for inappropriate behavior. He is well aware of his ADHD and why it makes certain things harder for him. He's learning appropriate behavioral strategies to avoid "triggers" and learning to reflect on what he could have done differently when he does something inappropriate. If you're DD is prone to making excuses, it might be her personality or she may not quite understand why she acts in certain ways herself. Kids learn coping mechanisms and not always the best ones when they're are trying to compensate.[/quote]
