[QUOTE="Ropefree, post: 224024, member: 6271"] Welcome Mother, frazzled, fuses blown, bug eyed...sleepless, worry worn... your boy does sound overwhelming. My adhd is a teen and I do not forget how exhausting the 0-when I left him at school today has been. In fact what you are doing is on target. You are gathering the facts about your child and you are reaching out to find all the available info and help. I recommend naps and hot tubs and massage, too, get some down time for you and for young energetic fellow. 56mg is alot of concerta. Isn't that like maximum doseage? What I did was read to my son. Activity and then reading to him, activity and then reading to him, ect. Maybe you will get lucky and it will help you. I would read about 78 pages in a row of chapter books. He and I would get comfortable and he would listen. A mirical. Through out his life sence the teachers and his dianosticians ect all comment that he will listen. I also kept him in walkmans and he would listen to books on tape. I stopped reading after 78 pages because my mouth would be bone dry and all the muscles involved with talking would be worn. It is work. And it does engage the mind and engages focus even if it is only because it engages the imagination. I think that language is as captivating to the brain as television, really. And children primarily do want contact and the attention of their parent. Adhd benefit from LOTS of activity like running and swimming. One of the most challenging aspects for these children is self-esteem. They "get worse" when they give up on themselves, I think. When the person who is not this disorder connects to all the useful and productive and meaningful things that they CAN do and ARE doing the esteem blooms and they find their inner motivations. As my sons grasp of what the "adhd" part was for him he became able to talk to me about where he was having difficulies as he got older. If is like catching a ball. These children are missing pitches left and right and as parent we are tired of pulling out of the danger in front of them, and repeating ourselves, and the chaotic drama...and when our kid gets lucky and starts catching the ball...woowoo! now we have something to praise and then the child begins to anticipate success with their own hands. It is still a challenge but it is a more obvious progress toward more possitive success. Boy Scouts wasn't very helpfull for us either. Maybe latter you could try again. If you feel that your child needs something for his developement just keep looking. I had the most wonderful encounter with a extremely talented play therapist who gave my son some sessions and offered me much hope and encouragement and ideas. Work with the school. TEachers have alot to offer. Listen, and ask questions and when you have insights then do not hesitiate to share them. Push when you have to push. Persist when you have to persist. At least with this board here you are not going at it alone. Everyone here seems like has had some contact with just every sort of what not and so forth. I wish you and your boy a wonderfull future with the best possible outcomes! [/QUOTE]
