Behavior Diagnoses
Holly mentioned the other day that she's
sorry so many parents want their kids to be diagnosed with problems
so the parents don't have to learn to be better parents, and then the
kids will act however they want to and say "Oh, I didn't take my
meds today" as an excuse. (Holly was 16.)
Lydia had a girl on her cheerleading squad (who does take meds for her
behavior, and yes Holly is correct she does use not taking them as an
excuse for bad behavior) say she was feeling "crazy" today because she
ate a candy bar. Lydia said she was just awful that day, pulling the
girls hair, stepping on their feet, pinching, all in the name of a
"joke". Using a candy bar as an excuse for bad behavior. This girl is
almost 11.
We have had on going issues with this teammate, but it's been quite a
learning experience for Lydia...and myself.
