[QUOTE="Jena, post: 430563, member: 4514"] hi and welcome you have found a great place, sorry you had to yet as it was mentioned glad you did! :) my stepson has adhd or add they arent' sure lol. diagnosis's always fly about. we have had some real challenges with him as of late the past few days. what we do here to try to help him cope, small things are........ we always give him a schedule/routine in place when we have him (he doesnt' live here ft;wish he did!) we also always give him a heads up prior to a new transition we do not escalate situations with him if he is blowing up we let him blow yet try to escort him to a calm zone usually his room. after he's de escalated we always talk about the event ways he could of coped with it; etc. make a sheet of "coping skills for him" ie..... when i'm mad i should (punch my pillow, listen to my music, etc.) my stepson enjoys listening to books on audio it helps calm him. we also give him magnesium supplements when we have him and we keep the sugar to a minimal. i think as far as therapists are concerned a cbt person would be beneficial and help him in facing his frustrations and teaching him skills to cope thru them better. i wish my stepson had entered into therapy prior to his current age of almost 12 when now we're seeing some real problems with him. the upper hand that you have is your son's age. its' great you are so caring and a strong advocate for him, getting the ball rolling now will only help him so very much in years to come. as far as dad goes, yes your right we can't control it. sheesh how id' love to control my exh with my child. yet he'll have to learn in life how to cope with changes, and therapy is a good start. also does he have any accomodations in school yet, what grade again is he?? as far as the odd diagnosis.....i personally dont' feel like odd is much of a diagnosis. i know i can be odd at times lol sorry that was long. welcome again, don't feel alone you def. arent'! others will follow :) [/QUOTE]
