[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 634093, member: 805"] It can be done with a structured environment, clear expectations (and the flip would be consistent consequences), a strict schedule, closely monitoring his diet, and good sleeping habits. My son was not off his adhd medications until much later in his school "career", but it is possible. Your son is old enough to understand he has adhd. Sit down and talk to him when he is at his calmest point. Let him know that the medications he tried are just not the answer for him. Explain your expectations of him and allow him to make some type of reward systems. For 2 school days without incident a bike ride with mom after dinner or For a whole weekend with no back talk, his choice of a movie and cuddle on the sofa Sunday night, etc. Make sure the goals are manageable at first and the rewards don't cost you any money! As time moves forward, extend the goals by adding more days, etc. [/QUOTE]
