[QUOTE="Malika, post: 410159, member: 11227"] Yes... that's the confusing thing... he has lots of the symptoms of hyperactivity, no doubt about it... but - he doesn't seem to have real problems in a school environment and that is the whole reasoning and rationale behind giving kids these drugs... I cannot drug him to make him an "easier" child! But he definitely needs special help to develop his under-developed capacity to tolerate frustration, for example. And he needs help in socialising. He is at the moment often "too much" for other children - too energetic, too physical, too loud, too apt to jump in without waiting to watch and listen to the group... He has his little "best friend" at the school and seems to be held in affection by the little school community as a whole but that does not mean there are not things that need real attention. But I just want him to develop socially and educationally much more than I want him to be labelled ADHD/ODD or anything else... Today I received "[URL="http://www.amazon.com/Explosive-Child-Understanding-Frustrated-Chronically/dp/0061906190/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1299079510&sr=1-1"]The Explosive Child[/URL]" and it seems very good.... really very good... And confirms my own growing instinct (unfortunately not generally understood by my entourage) that some children need different handling beyond rewards and punishment... [/QUOTE]
