[QUOTE="Malika, post: 441749, member: 11227"] Yes, I too understand this state of confusion. I wonder, though, how much a child of seven really "chooses" his/her behaviour? It seems to me most of us are propelled along by forces we don't rationally understand or look at, often well into adulthood - and sometimes a whole life long... I can see why it must seem so puzzling to have three days "off" and then one day "on", as it were... Of course you could look at it with a sense of gratitude for the three days "off", I guess :) I don't have any answers, any more than you do, alas. I know with my son I am often confused as to how much is this nebulous ADHD and how much is his character. If one gives any credence to these things, both his zodiac signs (sun, ascendant) are fire signs and he really IS fiery, determined, born to command, possessed of absolute self-confidence, iron will, etc, etc. I suspect he would have been a difficult child even without the ADHD :) So... how far does your son's character and whims play into what he cannot "help", the things happening or not happening in his brain? If we knew the answers to those things we'd be on some other plane of evolution :) How far to let go...? I don't think one does in practice. I think one just learns how to be better at dealing with the difficult child-ness... [/QUOTE]
