[QUOTE="SmallTownMom, post: 528681, member: 14555"] I am brand new to this site, I am from a small town in British Columbia, Cananda and am discouraged to find so little support out there. I am a 36yr old single mom with 2 wonderful boys. My oldest is 12 and excells in everything he does. My yougest is almost 9 and has a diagnosis of ADHD, ODD and Turretts. He is on 36mg of Concerta and that seems to be having a good effect on him at school. We are starting him on Risperidone this week. My main struggel is parenting 2 totally different children. I pick and chose my battles with my yougest, there are certain things he does that are just not worth the fight |(eg. singing at the top of his lungs while we are trying to watch tv in the next room), but my oldest responds with " I know you are not picking favorites but sometimes it feels like it, you wouldn't let me sing like that". I feel bad that I treat them differently, but they are such different kids.... is what I am doing wrong|? [/QUOTE]
