[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 579058, member: 11847"] I would see it this way: he knows what is socially appropriate and use the skills when he can. It is in him and that is HUGE. As he mature and gains more control of his ADHD, he will likely be able to use those skills more often and even when it is challenging to him. Maybe the "not feeling well" part drains some of that extra energy? You obvioulsy don't want him to be tired or sick all the time, but your angle/analysis sure has something to teach. What can be done to use up some of the extra energy. I know you have him in lots of sports, but it is still just a few hours a week. Some stuff you can include in his daily routine. A tread mill, apartment bicycle are things that poped in my mind. I don't know if it would work or even doable... Jogging before going to school? Aerobic routine? What is J's take on his own behavior? Can he explain it himself why some days he can be so cooperative and some others things are challenging? I always find it very helpful to ask V what he thinks and where is coming from in his actions. I have to fently push him past "I don't know" but usually I can extract some useful info. As far as the school: don't release the pressure! Your effort will eventually pay off. It is a slow process but one you have started early, time is on your side, I believe. [/QUOTE]
