[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 382196, member: 3930"] Some ideas: [LIST=1] [*]Request a full and initial MDE from the SD [*]Try to find a Childrens Hospital to take him to for a neuropsychologist evaluation [*]If you have nowhere else to go for his medication management, go to his pediatrician (what is he currently taking, how much, and for what duration?) [*]I agree to not let him stay with your mother - find respite care so you can still get a break, they are better equipped to deal with him [*]I agree do not leave him alone with the pet or little sister - sounds like he could be bordering on his ODD turning into CD [*]Find his currency - in other words, what is it he just has to have? Use that for when he does not comply [*]Can you lock up the snacks? How does he eat during the day? [*]I also agree - take the emotion out of your requests. Stop screaming. (So hard to do - I do too. It just fuels the fire.) [*]I don't agree with taking away recess. For my son, he absolutely needs the physical outlet. Find another penalty they can enforce at school. [*]For my son, one of the worst things for him is boredom. When he is bored, all heck breaks loose. Try to find activities he can participate in (that he wants to do). The busier we keep our son, the better. [/LIST] Realize he may not be doing this on purpose. in my opinion, it is the impulsivity part of the ADHD that is causing a lot of this. I agree he may also have other things going on (mood disorder - depression, anxiety, etc) - he may need to be treated for that as well as the ADHD Hang in there, keep writing, and welcome to the board.
