[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 314676, member: 1169"] I'm glad you let him go. I think our kids lose out on so much. I don't think you'll see gratitude for letting him go in spite of the meltdown because he doesn't see a connection between the meltdown and the activity (which is exactly why 'punishing' him by missing the activity would not have worked because he can't connect the consequence with the behavior. I'd suggest reading The Explosive Child and Lost At School (the techniques can be used very well at home) both by Ross Greene. Stimulants are awful for my son. We finally have some control. It took time. At 7, he sounded just like your son. He is now 10 and doing so much better. Here is what worked for us: 1. Medication (clonodine, depakote, seroquel) 2. gluten-free, casein-free All-Natural Diet 3. Time (just maturing) I cannot stress enough how much the gluten-free, casein-free All-Natural diet improved our lives. Both of my sons are so much better. I just had a meeting with Eeyore's school and it felt so good to see "no behavior problems" "great kid who tries hard" on all the paperwork :) [/QUOTE]
