I believe from my years of posting on the ADHD forum, that the single most important thing that you can do is to become an expert in ADHD because you are going to probably become the single most important change agent in his life (outside of meds). You will become his advocate in school.
It certainly is an inherited disorder for many - but not all kids. But, i have had kids in the classroom who have ADHD and their brother or sister did not. So it certainly is not guaranteed.
By the way, I have seen the changes in how ADHD is treated over the years. Having spent almost 40 years in the classroom. It is being treated much better now then it was. And your little one (if they do have ADHD) will have an advantage in having parents that know what is going on.
I came from a home that spanked. That worked for us and it worked for our other kids. We luckily have 3 other kids whom are extremely respectful, kind, loving and so friendly. But her its completely opposite. She gives other girls ugly looks will literally put her hands on them in a aggressive manner. Not actual hitting thank god. We have tried so many various ways of discipline. Taking things away, no t.v, no outside play, facing walls , writing apologies etc.
Texas does not have that much support for ADHD kids, but I question myself, is it his ADHD or is he just being defiant? A little history, he has a 5 1/2 month old sister, his dad is not around and the kids at the daycare he just got kicked out of do not like him because of the way he expreses himself. What do I do?
I have a 6yr old boy and a 9yr old girl and they fight all the time my son is adhd odd and may have some sycological issues he's on meds but he's getting really bad he's became violent with me and I just found out I'm pregnant it makes me alil uneasy because his favorite thing to do is kick me in my belly what do I do
Both rockrose and jdtm give possible answers. Let me give a third possibility (and there could be more). I post a lot on the ADHD forum. This certainly has the symptoms of someone with ADD. A person with ADD can easily be missed by the teacher - especially if the child has decent intelligence and is a nice kid. Its the hyper ones that always get noticed by the teacher.
You wondered about all his friends being hyper, etc. Its kind of unusual for really calm, mellow kids to hang out with ADHD kids. They both would drive each other nuts (at this age). Point being that ADHD kids will tend to hang out with others of the same temperament, so what you are seeing is a group skewed in that direction. However, every statistic I have seen has pointed to a large increase in kids with ADHD.
It is usual protocol to wait until the earliest age of 6 before diagnosing for adhd because all kids before that age show so much variability in behavior. Many kids prior to 6 will be impulsive, hard to settle down, on the move, have no filter, talk in loud voices and move from thing to thing quickly without finishing something.
I believe you could google adhd and find a listing of symptoms. It involves the nervous system and people will sometimes call these kids hyper.
Most developmental experts highly recommend it for kids with adhd. And another issue many kids with nervous system issues has (which adhd is) is that they seek impact. Boxing bags and kickboxing bags are known treatments for that again often recommended by experts. It is to feed the nervous system and is what they call "heavy work" and a known therapy to help someone be able to maintain themselves when they need to. Contrary to promoting violence, it actually heads it off.
and then post what you have said and a few other things that your son does. I have seen numerous posts by her of activities that you can do for your son that will accomplish what this suit will do. If for any reason she doesn't respond, let me know (she could be on vacation) and I will message her for her input (we do that a lot).
Adults can be diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as well. Sometimes this is a result of the person’s childhood ADHD progressing into adulthood (up to 70 percent of children will continue to struggle with ADHD as adults). Other times, an adult can either simply never been diagnosed as a child, or develop the disorder later on in life.
Adult attention deficit disorder looks a lot like childhood attention deficit disorder.
In the US, doctors try not to diagnose adhd until the earliest age of 6 due to many wanting to prescribe medication for it and that there is so much variability in kids under 6. All kids have impulse control issues to some degree before 6--------- that is the magic age that many kids do outgrow some wacky behaviors. (my younger boy just turned 6 . . . fingers crossed it works for him! LOL) But sensory is diagnosed earlier.
Interesting - the topic is hard to see in these posts. I see that you mean "Clubs" from the title - which makes sense.
You said parents are now complaining. Is it just the parent of the girl that got kicked? If so - I would ignore it. If there are numerous parents complaining that's a different matter. I think that would also mean that the supervision in the clubs is not perfect.
Either way - you do have several choices.
But at our daycare I have a child who exhibits behavior that reminds me of what I have read about ADHD and ADD. This child is unable to focus on one activity for more than five minutes, and sometimes much shorter. He will go to other children and take away what they are playing with, or knock down what they are building, not out of anger.
I found this forum after searching "signs of ADHD" for the hundreth time. I have suspected, for at least two years, that my five year old may have ADHD. My husband, however, thinks that my son is simply an "active boy." We have talked to our pediatrician and parents as teachers instructor, but they both have said that he is really too young for them to be able to discern whether he might have ADHD. We have even had him evaluated by the public school panel that does IEPs..
The doctor called me last week and said the screening sheet from the teacher definitely is positive for ADHD and the sheet I have filled out is borderline. We scheduled an appt to speak with her further , but she did mention even though it's the end of the school year it might not be a bad idea to consider meds so we can see how my son reacts, if it helps in the classroom and then we have the summer to iron out med issues, etc.
com/attention_deficit_hyperactivity_disorder_adhd/page5.htm#tocn You will find some very good activities for working with a child with ADHD. I'm pretty sure they will also work with a child with SIDS.
Hope this helps. Definitely post again if you have any questions or need more information.
I disagree a bit here. Intelligence does matter simply because it allows a kid with ADHD to skate by in school. Kids who should be getting A's, get B's and C's, and everybody says thats cool. Or if they have really good intelligence, they can go through most of middle school (usually Algebra does them in), until it becomes too much. The problem is by now, psychological damage has been done.
