[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 357280, member: 805"] Good Morning Stressed, the only thing you could have added to your first post was a profile signature like you see on the bottom of our posts. It gives us a little background and family information that is helpful in remembering the details of a member's difficult child/situation. Couple questions - Your son is 7 - how long has he been diagnosis'd with adhd? Has he been on, or his he currently on, medications for adhd? How does he do in school? Does he have any buddies? Are you on your third therapist because the others haven't done anything or they couldn't do anything? It's not unusual for our children to behave differently around the other parent - married and in the same house or living separately. Doesn't make it any less frustrating though.... I know, that for my son, a combination of medications, some accoms at school, a good therapist, behavior mod, and a very structured schedule at home (i.e., home from school, chill time, snack, set homework time and space every day, structured bedtime routine to relax and calm, etc.) slowly but surely made a HUGE difference in his attitude, behavior and ability to deal with his challenges. I started the phrase Free Choice Friday here on the board years ago when I first came here in 2003. Friday was such a relief for difficult child and me that if he had a successful week (and that was not measured by perfect behavior) that he got to choose what he wanted for dinner and what programming he wanted to hunker down and watch Friday night. It was Free Choice for our house to celebrate making it through another week! There's not going to be one thing that works for any of our challenging kids. You'll have to take a little from here, and little from there, to find out what makes a difference with your boy. But joining this board of been there, done that parents and our community of support is a great step in the right direction! Welcome to the board. Sharon [/QUOTE]
