[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going to get flamed for this, but here goes...some of the most misbehaved children I know are diagnosed with ADHD.  Interestingly enough, their parents are the most ineffective, passive and permissive adults.

I've yet to meet a child with ADHD who's raised in a strict but loving, disciplined household with firm limits, consistent boundaries, a set schedule and a healthy dose of the word n and benign neglect as needed.  We're raising self-centered, entitled brats.

Go ahead, tell me that you are raising your child this way and he/she is gifted, healthy, quirky, etc. but despite your loving interventions...

We've gotten so afraid of blaming Mother or accusing the parents of neglect that experts tend to gloss over or claim the home environment is relevant.[/quote]

You are an ignorant ass - this much I know for sure.

How do you explain my mature, non-impulsive, independent DD?  She is being raised exactly the same way - and with the same parents as my immature, highly impulsive and very dependent ADHD & LD DS?

Maybe DD is being raised by you?[/quote]
It's really not possible for anyone here to explain to you, your very different children, nor how you may relate differently with each one of them. Sorry.[/quote]
