[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 567243, member: 1550"] He needs a parent, but conventional parenting does NOT work with our kids. I have no idea what or if any resources are available in France to help you try interventions and help raising this differently wired child, but, if not, I'd start reading lots of books about raising difficult children. Our kids do not add up. One plus one is never two. They do not respond to what "normal" kids respond to. No matter what t heir disorders are, they seem to have one thing in common...they are very outside of the box and require creative thought. That's why most of us have our kids in some sort of therapy and why most of us have to be in it ourselves...lol :) My "typical" sixteen year old was a "typical" child. If you told her what to do, she usually did it. Sometimes she would pout or stamp her foot, but I don't think she ever had a tantrum. If you told her "no" she sometimes whined a little, but when told to cut it out or suffer a consequence, such as time out, she would stomp away, but quit her behavior. My Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified son, when told to go into time out, would throw the time out chair and scream. He would hit me. He would kick me. He would get very aroused very quickly and had trouble settling down. Interventions were CRUCIAL to his development as he is 90% better now, as an adult. If interventions aren't available in France, you can still implement them at home by reading up on how to parent "differently wired" kids. Just check out Amazon. Tons and tons of books on the topic. Bottom line: I would never quit parenting. Kids need us. But I'd change how I parented my child and self-learn alternative methods for children who are not your typical kid. I have no idea what he'd be considered in the US, but it sounds like more than just ADHD, but that is not even important...whether he's just ADHD or has more stuff going on. He needs to be parented differently than my youngest daughter was because he is different. Good luck :) [/QUOTE]
