Hi All....Happy Monday!
Just wanted to ask a few quick questions:
I am a single Mom of a 10yr old...who was diagnosed with-ADHD about 6-8mo ago...and now they (pediatrician & counselor) think he has generalized anxiety. They are now suggesting/recommending a psychiatrist for other "medications"....there is a name out there for everything! I don't have lots of $$$ :frown: and don't have time to constantly take off from work to tend to these things.
Over the weekend we (b/f & I) took Bradley to my work picnic at a local water park...drove 2hrs to get there. We almost didn't go due to Bradley's increased "attitude" issues...thought perhaps this would "adjust" his attitude...he didn't show much emotion until late in the day...once he got going on the water slides...which was a good thing.
But anymore he never says "thanks for taking me" etc...unless I prompt him. He has manners...then he got bored yesterday...and started in on his bugging...he lost his PS3 chances...because he bugged left & right...he loves to be outside, but wouldn't do hardly anything outside. He would have rather stayed inside & watched tv ALL DAY...NOT!!!
Next week he starts his day camp at YMCA...but until then, I don't know what to do. I am picking up the book "Explosive Child" tonight...maybe this will help.
Anybody out there tried natural alternatives??? Any other suggestions???
Tired & Frustrated....
