[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 600485, member: 1514"] Hi there. I was figuring you lived somewhere that it wouldnt be easy for you to go behind your husband's back to get help for your son. There are a few things you can try as home remedies to see if they help. Regular old caffeine might help if he does have a touch of ADHD. Maybe give him a cup of coffee on the weekend and see if it helps at all, if you can get him to drink it. You will most likely have to make it very sweet. Or try a small glass of Coke. You can also try fish oil...omega 3 and 6 oils. I know here they actually sell it in a pudding type thing for kids who refuse to swallow pills and now they also have gummy chewables too. Is your little boy very active? Mine needed to play all their wiggles out or they were heck on wheels in the house. I kept them very active in whatever I could find for them to do and Im finding I have to do the same thing with my oldest granddaughter who is about the same age as your son. Does structure help with him? Everything done at the same time in the same place every day. Some kids need that. As far as losing your temper and going off on him dont feel bad, we have all done it. My kids are now 32, 29 and 27. I just yelled at my 27 year old yesterday!!! He left his 1 year old's dirty diapers in the bathroom and my dog got a hold of them and dragged them around my house. You bet I yelled at him!! Of course his kids heard me yell at him too...lol. They thought it was funny, at least the 7 year old did. I have learned - after I became a grandparent - that if I count to ten and dont yell or throw a tantrum myself that I get better results out of the discipline I am trying to dish out. If I am having my own temper tantrum and screaming at a kid, their eyes just glass over and they stop paying any attention to me about 5 seconds in and say...Just Spank Me and get it over with already! Not the result one is aiming for. [/QUOTE]
