As a professional who deals with children with developmental disorders, I am extremely concerned for the life of the child on your show today. The lack of understanding, compassion and overall self concern rather than child concern is extreme. This parent needs to understand the limitations of her child and further, develop skills now. The best time to address behavioral concerns, establish lifelong patterns and overall life structure is in childhood. Brain research says the best time is prior to age 8. This family is wasting precious time in assisting this child. Changes will be harder at a later age. Please contact your local or state chapter for a PWS support group so you can learn about your child, develop her skills to the fullest and work with her now.
Sincerely,
Mary R
