[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 612789, member: 11791"] You can't. Really. It's all about prevention. Which means... things need to change at school, so he does NOT come home totally spent. He needs something left in his tank. And to get those changes at school, you need a different diagnosis. ADHD will NOT get you anything, nor will ODD. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/Aspie/Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified would highlight some of the needs. Professionals telling school that some things need to change will help. Occupational Therapist (OT) therapies for sensory and/or motor skills issues really helps how they handle those things and takes pressure off. First and foremost, it's about prevention. But... we will never be 100% on prevention. SO yes, there are some things that sort of work. Structure. NO unplanned changes (yes, I'm serious) ... or at least, expect major problems as a result and don't punish etc., it's not his fault. FOOD. His blood sugar will likely be low when he gets home, and he will be out of sorts as a result. Have healthy snacks that HE likes to eat, available BEFORE he gets in the door. Or if you pick him up from school, hand him the snack in the car. It helps. Did you ever run across the book The Explosive Child by Ross Greene? We never did succeed in really implementing his strategies, but the shift in mind-set that the book gave us made a huge difference in how we handled our difficult child. [/QUOTE]
