My son just turned five. He has been labeled as gift, diagnosed with ADHD, and kicked out of kindergarten all in the same month. The main problem is impulse control, he has none. He hits, and apparently spits on kids when he doesn't like their behavior. He was sent to the office almost daily, and I had to go get him at least 3 times a week. Finally yesterday was the last straw they said he can no longer come to the full day class. He will start the half day class tomorrow but I do not think it will help him.
Nothing I do seems to work, he doesn't understand consequences or doesn't care I'm not sure which. I seem to be the only person on the planet he listens too and he only behaves if I stay on him like a hawk. I have an 8 month old so it's a bit harder to stay on Zach.
He is the sweetest, smartest little guy, he's a great big brother and very sensitive. I'm scared to medicate him, he's so young I'm worried it will affect his growth. I would like to homeschool him but my husband thinks that's insane.
Please help.
