[QUOTE="Malika, post: 612813, member: 11227"] Hello Kilted Lass. Well, everything you say makes sense to me... I also have an ADHD child who has always been better behaved at school than at home. It's clear that routine and structure are good for ADHD kids and give them an external framework to contain their emotions, since they have no internal one to do so. The one big question mark for me in your post is that you say your son can focus... well, if he can focus like any other child, I would venture to suggest he cannot be ADHD... do you know this for a fact? Is it possible that he is not in fact focusing so wonderfully and that the cost of trying to focus all day is exhausting to him so that it all disrupts once he is let out of the paddock, as it were? This is certainly what used to happen for my son - he was absolutely mentally tired out after school. Your son is not on medication... is that a conscious decision or just that it has never been suggested? [/QUOTE]
