[quote=Anonymous][quote]Funny... I want my child to change but I am not willing to change... ADHD is not the only issue in your family.

Read this... Either accept you are part of the problem or accept the issues won't change until you do.

Did you even read that article?  It doesn't support your argument and isn't even applicable in the situation I described.  I am not blaming my DS for my feelings or anything else. He can choose to take out the trash or not.  I have no feelings about the trash or his use of his cell phone.  But the use of one is contingent upon the other.  If you don't understand the need for him to learn to complete his work before he plays, I can't help you.

I work to remove emotion from these encounters - which is key to interacting with crazy teenagers.  That required a lot of change on my and my DH' part, Removing emotion and being calm during interactions was one of the the things our family counselor recommended - our counselor who is a big EFT proponent but also knows you have to have more than 1 tool in your tool box (she's also studied Gottman extensively).
