[QUOTE="Malika, post: 410759, member: 11227"] Thank you. Well, if nothing else (and there is much else!), discovering "The Explosive Child" alone makes finding this website worthwhile :-) I do feel somewhat in a tangle with all this labels business... Put simply, it is as clear as day to anyone and everyone - you don't have to be a doctor or psychologist! - that J, my son, is physically hyperactive, and has been since he started walking at nine months... even before then, actually :-) On the other hand, he seems to have no discernible problems with concentration or attention and fits, more or less, into the conventional school system... and so, one might ask, where is the problem? Thus far, I don't really need to "know" that he has ADHD - though he really doesn't seem to have an attention deficit - but only that his character causes me problems because he is very inflexible and explosive when he is frustrated or thwarted... And, wanting to state only my own view, I do find the idea of giving him heavy-duty psychiatric medecines very frightening... Here in Europe it does seem very much an either/or decision - you can if you want or feel it is really needed but lots of people seem to choose other routes with their ADHD children... [/QUOTE]
