I’ve been reading some research that backs up why all this is so important.
There’s evidence that one of the most damaging thing for long term ‘outcomes’ in people’s lives is being rejected by peers. This is something most of us have probably faced.
But the study I was reading was showing how kids who THINK their partner on a task has ‘behaviour problems’ were more likely to treat them differently, talk to/play with them less etc and the kids who were supposed to have the ‘problems’ were more unhappy afterwards too.
It didn’t make any difference whether the child had ADHD or their partner just thought they had it – the interactions were the same.
