[QUOTE="Malika, post: 416722, member: 11227"] Welcome. I really do second what Beth said about giving your little boy lots of love and affection. I have seen a BIG improvement in my son's "defiant" behaviour since I stopped getting angry with him over his behaviour all the time and since I have started very consciously showing him that I love and appreciate him. People - including children and adults - get into negative cycles of communication that make things much worse. About the hitting... I know you have told him that he must never hit anyone but as you know ADHD involves poor impulse control. And all children of that age are still learning to express themselves with words rather than gestures. It was not good, of course, and the boundary needs to be made clear but I personally don't feel it was some terrible crime he has committed. I have seen perfectly "normal" kids of this age and even older hitting each other, either in anger or play. Good luck - I know how hard it is sometimes. [/QUOTE]
