[QUOTE="Christy, post: 169471, member: 225"] Glad you posted, welcome back. Medication can sometimes make other behaviors worse. Some of the rage you are seeing may be caused by it. Further evaluation could be helpful especially if you don't feel ADHD is the cause of his issues and from what you describe it sounds like there is more going on. He's seven and you ARE the boss of him. If he gives you a hard time about baseball or going to the pool don't take him. When my son was very destructive, just a few moths ago, we cleared his room of everything but his matress and bedding, even took off the door and closet doors because he liked to slam them. His room became a safe place where we could take him or he could run to when he became upset. After a month, we brought back his furniture and he is so happy to have his dresser and desk that he is much less destructive. The same went for toys. If he threw them, he lost them. When he started to notice that he had fewer things, it became more important to take care of them. There is still yelling and stomping but much less destruction. Good luck getting the information you need to best treat you son. Christy [/QUOTE]
