[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 484695, member: 11847"] Don't beat yourself up... no good will come out of that. And keep in mind hat, sometimes, we need to let things go a little before getting the help that we/our children need. Just to put it in perspective: my difficult child being so young, a lot of strategies/therapies that would be beneficial are simply not offered because he has not completly collapsed yet. Very frustrating: the "being proactive" method does not always work. So just remember what you know now and try to manage the best you can. Does your daughter admits that something is different about her? She might be angry about it but does she see it? Have you talked to her and is she able to come up with solutions (even if those solutons are not ideal)? Getting help means a lot of testing and it can be scary/boring for our kids. I find it very helpful to explain to V why we go see such and such doctor. Of course, at his age I keep it very simle and try to give real life examples. It is also important to give a positive light to all the testing and therapy: we don't go looking for what is wrong, we going looking for solution on what we already know is a challenge. I know it seems like playing with words, but I believe it makes a difference. [/QUOTE]
