[QUOTE="Praecepta, post: 682001, member: 20025"] What difference does the teacher see when he does not take his medication? Better? Worse? Have you taken him to a child psychologist / psychiatrist? A suggestion: Try ONLY giving him positive feedback, never say anything negative about his behavior. Don't yell at him - rather walk away if he makes you upset, then later come back and point out the positive things he is doing (I know, easier said than done!). For teaching him to do things, read about the short attention span of ADHD. Try just giving him lessons for 1 minute, then let him go wild, then another minute, then let him go wild, etc. If the above works, report that to his doctor / psychologist - get further advice as to what to do.
