[QUOTE="WorriedGrandma, post: 764003, member: 32045"] I was just told he was going to a children's "specialist." They did a lot of tests for the ADHD to determine the best medications -- Strattera was determined to be more appropriate than stimulants, and I know he is on other drugs besides that -- I've just forgotten which ones. His older sister (8) is also ADHD but to a much lesser extent. The two can really wind each other up, but older sister can settle down where he can't. Lately I've been asking her to help settle him, and it seems to be working well. (Showing Grandma what a good helper she can be.) Difficult boy and his dad clash frequently, mostly with raised voices. I know how to guide ADHD energy, but the direct defiance and not following rules is hard to deal with. He can also be very sweet and if he wants to, he can get along with family. [/QUOTE]
