[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 687740, member: 20051"] I think that you need to stagger bedtimes. They are 6 and 10. 4 years difference, so it doesn't seem fair that a 6 year old and a 10 year old have the same bed time. Maybe bump the 10 year old's bedtime back a half hour. Then dad could out the 6 year old to bed and read him a story and then the 10 year old and read him a story and each kid gets his own private time with dad. Our pediatrician says no electronics at bedtime. It is too stimulating, especially to the ADHD brain. These kids have a hard enough time shutting down their overactive brain. The 6 year old's behavior absolutely makes sense, though. Think of all the attention the 10 year old gets from his behavior. The 6 year old is vying for the same attention but by highlighting his good behavior. To the 6 year old brain pointing out others negative behavior paints you in a more positive light. [/QUOTE]
