[QUOTE="houseofcards, post: 9985, member: 1871"] Thank you all for your replies. I am at a frustrating time and alot of other things such as my mothers health are piling on. I will continue to mention the behaviors as I see them but I don't thing the p-doctor values my insight. I will also try to get others like his teachers to give their insight. As far as behavior that I ignore where I wouldn't with the other kids, when he is upset he will run upstairs, slam doors, and kick toys. Punishing it does nothing so I don't unless he actually destroys something...instead I am trying to teach him other ways to get the same release without appearing so out of control I believe dreamer gave an article that speaks of this that I found very helpful. I also don't handle the lying/stealing that seems to occur in cycles as I would with the other kids, in part because there just isn't any shock about it anymore. I do make him give restitution/ and he loses my trust for awhile until I believe he is back to the kid that knows it is wrong and is trustworthy. For instance he has been finding money alot lately(small change), even from school. Now I asked him his exact amount that he has and I keep track..any other money goes into the family money jar unless I know who it goes to. If my other kids were to steal I would be shocked and they would understand how badly they messed (at least in part) up by my shock. I also think I need a neuro psy evaluation for him, I will put it on my list. Amy, I misspoke if I implied I understand all adhd, I think I understand my now adult son with adhd. This child just doesn't seem to be like him in some very intense ways. I didn't mean to imply that adhd was easily dealt with, My husband had to become a Cub Scout leader when my son was younger because I didn't want to dump his behavior on anyone else and in an unstructured group he was a challenge. Again thanks for the replies, I love this place and the insight it gives me as well as the comfort of just not being alone in this. [/QUOTE]
