[QUOTE="nandz, post: 358199"] Well, they are big enough to cause problems at daycare and preschool. Of course, the problems are much more here at home with me. I think it's because he feels safest with me at home and therefore feels the need to unleash on me. I want to give the medication a try to see if it helps, but I don't want to harm him either. I know without medications, he would not be able to function when he goes to school in the fall. I know we would have ended up putting him on medications later if we had not done it now. He hits himself in the head when he gets angry or frustrated and his mood swings are awful. His defiant behavior is getting better now that I have some consistent discipline in place for him. It's so hard and everyday is a struggle and a roller coaster. Some days are good, some days are bad..but we are trying to work through it the best way we know how. I don't want my son growing up remember his childhood as one big struggle after another and that mom was always mad at him and frustrated at him. I do admit that I do spank him sometimes, but that's when he won't listen to anything I have to say to him and I do NOT do it out of aggression. It's something to get his attention. It's a last resort. Most of the time, going to his room with no toys, no movies, no tv, or video games seems to work. I have noticed that since he started Adderall, consequences mean more to him than they did before. Before medications, he didn't seem to care about anything at all...now things are meaning something to him. [/QUOTE]
