Question:
I have a 6year old child that has adhd what should i do. i m so stressed.?
my little boy is 6 years old and has adhd i dont like the way his meds make him act. we have tryed adderal, focalin, metadate, and now daytrana it helps for a few weeks and then seems not to affect him any more. is there anything other than meds that i can try. random people have told me that all he needs is an old fashion beating but really whats that going to accomplish other than child abuse. i have started him in behavior management classes but we have only had one appointment so far so i dont quite know if its helping yet. please if anyone can help, i am soooo stressed out. i have 2 other children and one on the way.their ages are 6,4,and the baby is 14 months
Answers:
predictability is important - don't make threats you won't carry out. maintaining boundaries and all that - i assume these are the sort of things that you will be discussing in behaviour classes.
that really sucks that ppl are trying to force their ignorant opinions onto you and your family - that must be really stressful. i hope everything works out - its a long road - you have to be in for the commitment - this will make the hugest difference in your son's adult life
good luck
