[QUOTE="Christy, post: 171649, member: 225"] Parenting skills or lack of skills are not the cause of the diagnosed condition but parenting techniques do have an effect on a child's behavior and even what some would consider "good parenting skills" may work for one child and not another due to his/her condition. I think as a parent, especially a difficult child parent, you have to constantly analyze the situation and ask yourself, what might I do differently next time to get a better outcome? I am often complimented on my parenting skills and the structure I provide for my difficult child and he's the worst behaved child I know! I don't blame myself for his behaviors but at the same time, there is no sense in continuing to do what doesn't work so I am open to new ideas and willingly accept other's suggestions (sometimes I try them and sometime I discount them based on what I know about my son). The more I learn about bipolar disorder, the more it has caused me to adjust some of my thinking and make changes in the way I parent. Parenting styles should evolve to fit the needs of the child at the moment and a parent should always be open to trying something a new way to see if things will improve. [/QUOTE]
