Click here to use Mark Hutten, M.A. as your personal parent coach. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mark, I find there a lack of supports where I live. Since he's been kicked out of school (behavior and substance use)and now having to attend the At Risk Youth Program for schooling, I am still concerned that my son is not getting what he really needs which is: -Coping Skills -Learning realistic thinking and emotional regulation skills -Learning to take responsibility for his doings/ and show remorse. -pro-social communication -learning self control and how to control his impulses -Problem solving With being 6 months away from being 18 (considered an adult here in Manitoba Canada) he is no more near appropriate acting age which scares me. I worry that he has few anti social traits and will turn into that for adulthood. What are your thoughts on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for ADHD and ODD? ~~~~~~~~~~~~
