[QUOTE="Malika, post: 606840, member: 11227"] We do tend to focus on labels. These are obviously helpful to a degree, in getting accommodations and in (hopefully) enabling caregivers and educators to understand that something more than "naughtiness" or "bad parenting" is going on. But for the moment, you know there is a problem with impulse control that leads to aggression... in my experience and reading, this IS or can be related to ADHD. At least in Europe - I cannot talk about American varieties of ADHD :) I too am just taking the apparently insane decision to homeschool, at least for a time. I totally get you about your son also being sweet, smart, and very sensitive too. You need somewhere that will be able to see the whole child, and the qualities, not just the problems. IS there anything like this available to you in your area? If not, maybe you need to thrash out the apparently insane decision some more with your husband. The fact that your son is gifted is also relevant, I would have thought... a gifted ADHD child will not thrive in conventional education. They need to think outside the box and be outside the box, to some degree. [/QUOTE]
