[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 424135"] Hi Kitty, welcome to board! Glad you found us, sorry you had to. I'm amazed you can get him to sit still with his hands on his head, I can't get Kiddo to that. We're going to have lots of questions for you to kind of get an idea of things, but you're not a failure (or you wouldn't be here looking for help), and you're not alone. Signatures help us know and remember things about each other. Mine tells you how old my kid is, what her diagnoses are, and what medications she's currently on. It also tells you that mine is an only child, and there's only the two of us in our household. Have you read Ross Greene's The Explosive Child? If not, grab it, your library should have it, and it's available online as an ebook if you want it like NOW. Great starting place. And like any advice you'll find in books or on the board, take what works for you, and don't worry about what doesn't work. No one method works for every family. How long has your son been like this? Has he been tested by a neuropsychologist? Is ADHD his only diagnosis? Does he have an IEP? Is moving the reason for so many schools in such a short period of time, or were some schools not a good fit for him? Has he been checked for food sensitivities? Some kids do better on diets without certain things, with other kids it makes no difference. Testing and trial and error there. Have you kept a behavior log? Write down what he eats when, what time he got up, went to sleep, great moods, nasty moods, what seemed to trigger an incident, etc. You said he ran out of his medications. What medication(s) was he on, did they help, and can you get him back on them if they did help? Others will be along with more questions and suggestions, hang in there! [/QUOTE]
