[QUOTE="Malika, post: 566859, member: 11227"] Yesterday was not good. J was at the Wednesday play centre... when I picked him up, I asked how the day had been for him and one of the assistants told me that in the afternoon J had come up to her and taken her hold of her hand in a way that hurt. I imagined that it was one of his not-thinking, impulsive brusque gestures. I asked him to come and apologise to her, which he eventually did. However, later on that evening, he let slip that this woman had pushed him (he says) and that he had been angry with her... So it may well have been deliberate. And then we had all this performance before we left the play centre because he put decorations from the Christmas tree in his pocket and was going to take them - the other boy who goes there who also has ADHD (but they all say he is "much more complicated" than J, whatever that means) was shouting that he had stolen them... So we fish the decorations out of his pocket, with J denying that he has anything, and put them back. And then, in the car, I discover he has a third decoration which he had hidden. He started telling me a friend had given it to him, insisted on this version until I got really angry. Of course he had stolen it... well, it is stealing really, and he knows it. So I am taking him back to the centre this lunchtime and he will give it back and say sorry... it may seem trivial but I don't feel like it is. Qui vole un oeuf vole un boeuf, as the French say. Then last night he was very oppositional and rude, doing his "gangster boy" act. Also in the evening I realised I had forgotten to give him his "medicine" in the morning - magnesium and zinc, iron, and Omega 3. Could this have anything to do with his awful behaviour yesterday?? I have been giving him this stuff for years, not really know whether it does any good whatsoever... [/QUOTE]
