[QUOTE="Christy, post: 150250, member: 225"] Welcome! Glad you have found us. My son is also 9 years old with- bi-polar/adhd. He is very socially immature and explosive. He thinks kids are his "best friends" when actually they are pressing his buttons because it is fun to watch him have a temper tantrum in the middle of the street. I have tried explainning this to him numerous times to no avail. The best I have been able to do is cut down on the amount of interaction he has with the neighborhood kids. I've done this by keeping him busy with activities like tae kwon do and challenger baseball (a league for children with special needs). We have made the backyard entertaining with a swingset and trampoline. He has one friend who he plays with often in the back yard. It is sad but I seldom let him play out front because the nextdoor neighbor's son if very mean to my difficult child. When he is out front, I am always on the front porch monitoring the interaction, seems over protective but I feel it is necessary at this point. I know there will soon be a day when I can't keep him so sheltered but right now, he doesn't have the sociall skills to deal with mean kids. Good luck with your situation, Christy [/QUOTE]
