adhd
his teacher has said that he is the brightest boy in the class but finds it hard to pay attention and fidgets all the time, he shouts out alot and when he is at home he never listens to a word i say when i ask him to behave. he runs and jumps about and never walks and talks constantly i have to ask him repeatedly every time i want him to do something. do you think this is adhd?
m getting frustrated myself to all levels. I thought of the possibility of ADD or ADHD and had him tested at about 2 or 3 and they said No he's fine but its so frustrating. I have tried multiple discipline tactics, positive reinforcements and nothing is working. I think I should get him reevaluated.
They tried Concerta and it did not work for the school at all. He was very restless and hyper. At home he was fine at the end of the day. So, the way this boy's body metabolized the med was different and the benefit of the med was late in the afternoon. Metadate CD works better for this boy during school hours. Good luck.
"Treatment starts with controlling adhd symptoms." When a childs adhd symptoms "are reduced there usually is an improvement in ODD symptoms. Stimulant medications have been shown to decrease adhd symptoms, as well as those of ODD, by up to 50%."
In my opinion, the doctors have been not dealing with the cause of her ODD. Nothing you have stated is really recommended to treat adhd.
My recommendation for a good adhd medication starts with a good doctor.
It is even more difficult if your family will not speak it at home. If the child also has ADHD its very difficult to read and write. His conversational English may be ok however.
Many people do write to this forum with bad experiences with medication. My personal feeling is that a lack of interest by their doctor is the reason why they have had these experiences. There have been some people like Hoshi who have had almost life saving experiences.
Being obsessed with video games, that is the age these days. But since meds are not helping the issue, then you want to try something different?
Go online on meetup.com for your area and look for spiritual healers etc. The one you really want to check out is the person who can do a "Past Life Regression" on your son. All this is a hypnosis and maybe be able to pin point the reason for the stealing and correct it.
At school the teachers tell us that when doing work he’ll just put answers on the paper without even looking – because he doesn’t care. When he does care or is compelled to care, he does great. At home he doesn’t listen well and acts very immature. He’s constantly whining and paints himself the victim of every situation imaginable.
I’m looking for ideas on what to do. The more we take things away or punish him the more jaded he becomes.
His constant behavior issues, both at school and at home, infuriate and embarrass me and make me feel like I am a total failure as a parent. I really really truly and genuinely want to have a warm, fuzzy, and loving relationship with him. I can't begin to explain how very much this hurts me. Just today, I tried very very hard to have a good day with him.
Depression and Anxiety are very common co-disorders of ADHD. And sometimes the bipolar diagnosis is not true due to the other symptoms. So its always worth taking a look at the difference between the two. Here are a couple of links for that.

Many times it is when the other kids do something that makes him mad he reacts physically. He is not exposed to violence at home. I have talked to him about keeping his hands to himself. He says that he can't control himself. He has a huge heart and is very kind in many other ways. Very good with animals. His teacher says he daydreams in school all the time. At home one on one he does great. I don't know how to help him learn to stay focused or how to control his impulses.

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. You will learn how to discipline him in a way that is effective and not punitive.
Hi there. Well, I'm sorry for the difficulty. Sounds like it has been a rough road.
A couple of things stand out to me. One, and this will seem unfair to you but I really would think twice about your wife having another child at this time. I'm sorry for her mc, I am so very sorry. But her son is in crisis and there is a chance that the idea of her pregnancy (even if you think he didn't know about it . . .
Teachers can be an excellent resource because they see your child as compared to the hundreds they have taught, and see him functioning outside of home. If the symptoms are not happening at school, then the more likely situation is that you can get the behaviors under control at home by using some new techniques.
To really find out if he meets diagnostic criteria for ADHD, consult a psychologist.
