I believe it's not the parenting (though parenting skills help struggling children reach their fullest potential), not the genetics (though certain children are more genetically susceptible) and not the child's fault (it's not that they are lazy, unmotivated or selfish). There are very real processing issues underlying these behaviors. Click on this clip for what I believe we need to do to help our future children to flourish. (Your child may need some interventions such as IM now to help overcome the environmental insults they've already received early in their development.)
