[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 637490, member: 1550"] There is no way to predict the future. But this child needs a lot of help. The sooner, the better. If his parents are waiting for him to "outgrow" it, they'll most likely be in for a rough time in the teen years. Getting help will not hurt this child. Doing nothing can be a significant problem for his future...and the peace of your home. There is no guarantee that professional help will be successful either, BUT at least then if something goes wrong you have done all you could when you still have control over what he does. When he gets into his teens...it is much harder to get a child to comply. At eighteen, your rights over the treatment are completely gone. Children with an ADHD diagnosis. have a much higher rate of substance abuse and other problems as they hit those teen years. And he is still young. Often there is more going on than just ADHD but it doesn't get dxd. until they are older.If his father is troubled, well, this poor kid has 50% of his father's DNA and heredity does come into play here. Please urge her to take this child for a thorough evaluation while he is still young. Good luck to you :) You are a caring person. [/QUOTE]
