[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a child with ADHD. She's also six. She calls me stupid, I haul her out of whatever situation she's in or she experiences some other logical consequence. She's not stupid - she knows what she's doing and that it's not acceptable. The adhd has nothing to do with that particular example of bad behavior.[/quote] What if you physically cannot pick up and remove your child? What if your child is too big or gets aggressive/fights back/doesn't cooperate, like in OP's case of leaving the pool? I am petite person and both of my elementary age children are way too heavy for me to carry anywhere. I have tried to take them to their room or have them leave a place when they misbehaved, and I have myself gotten hurt. So if you cannot pick them up and they won't come, what do you do (I ask in all seriousness, because I really have this issue)?[/quote] You're an adult with a car and a checkbook. Punish by taking away all they care about.[/quote] That doesn't answer my questions whatsoever and is completely not helpful. Do I drive away with my checkbook when my child will not come and I am trying to remove that child from the situation but they are physically too large to do so? I am not the OP but am the poster with this question you posted but didn't answer. I am asking for sincere replies, because I have ended up in the hospital three times.[/quote]
