[QUOTE="sweetgem, post: 417459, member: 11569"] Hi All, I'm very new to this site and have sought it out probably like most of you as a means to get some fresh ideas on how to deal with my 8 year old son's behaviours. My boy was diagnosed with ADHD and ODD at 2 and re diagnosed last year with the same combo. I'm a fairly strong minded person and despite being told he should be medicated by every paed I saw, I toughed it out. At home, my boy is quite well behaved... a little on the annoying side at times, but otherwise under control and pretty good. At school... different story!!! He explodes at other kids, gets physical and even back chats teachers from time to time (only when he's having an outburst). I'm at a loss as to what to do. Counselling, consequences (many many consequences), diet changes and redirection all work for a short period of time, but I end up back at square one. I'm starting to think medication may be the only option. I'm interested in other's experiences with medicating their children for similar disorders... thankyou :) [/QUOTE]
