Quote From: cjluckI have a friend whose 3 year old daughter has been diagnosed with Angelman's Syndrome. I had never heard of this before and read about it on their website. Sometimes, are these "brats" really brats or could they have a physical problem? I realize that parents today have inconsistencies in their love and disciplinary actions and create a lot of these "brats" but I also believe that there may be a physical reason for it and we as people should not be immediately judgemental in our thoughts.
I have an 8 year old son who has ADHD,ODD and Bipolar! I avoid outings as much as possible but there are times I have to take him out and let me tell you it is never fun! he takes his medications all the time,but being in stores with a large amount of people is instant reason for a melt down.
His behaviors are no better at home. he is under the care of a child psychiatrist since he was 3 and everyday is a little harder with him.
I have gone as far as to have him removed from the home because I was ready to have a breakdown.
But the meaning of all this is not allkids arebrats because of the parents, some kids just can't help it. As trying as they are, they don't want to act that way allot of the time and acting that way does upset them as much as me or you allot of the time.
