thanx.
I have 16 year old twin boys who have just now recently been diagnosed with ADD by a Neurologist. He has prescribed Concerta which I can understand but he also prescribed Lamictal and from the information I can find this is for Bipolar or Epilepsy. Can anyone out there comment?
They did try 2 other medicines before the Strattera. One of them was Ritalin and he was worse. He gets things taken away from him for his behavior. The spanking never worked, made it worse. Her doctor told her to try putting a dab of vinegar on his tongue when sassing back. That is what he did with his daughter and it worked. That does seem to work sometimes. Has to be apple cider vinegar. He knows when he has gone too far and will apologize when I mention getting the vinegar.
Many kids take their medication in the morning and then do not feel hungry all day. Their bodies, lacking the nutrients and fuel they need, go into “starvation” mode. In the evening, the medication wears off, the kids are extremely hungry, and they binge. Their brains tell their bodies: “Better eat up. This might be the only chance you’re going to get.” Often, they over-consume, go to bed, and start the cycle the next day. In this way, lack of appetite can cause weight gain.
my boyfriend thinks our daughter has add but i dont think its just cause she is two but she has a attention span of two seconds wht do you think
I am also the manager at my job 50+ hrs a week, going to school full time, father, and the wife says im not to bad as a hubby sometimes. I returned home from a deployment in iraq in 05 and was having a hard time managing my busy life and staying motivated throughout the day. My friend gave me an Adderall (a class 2 drug, like cocain) because he thought it would help. Wow! let me just say that when I was 18-20 I experimented with a lot of drugs, I mean a lot!
I have an 18 yrs old son, he is in the 12th grade, we found out that he had ADD when he was in the 10th grade. He has been having problems with his school work since K. He is not a trouble kid at all never has been. The problem is his school work never finish it, he wait till report cards so he can finish his work, lately he is having more trouble getting his work done. He will not let me put him on med at all. I need to know if there is any thing out there that might help him with out drugs.
I'm a ftm and have no other kids, but my cousin's kids who is 3 and 1 years in age are getting on my nerves. They stay with us so it's kind of difficult to ignore them. They are impossible to control and my cousin and his wife doesn't care how they behave. Since I fell pregnant they became really naughty and throwing tantrums for nothing. They would try so smack me on my tummy and all though I won't allow it, they start screaming and throwing a fit because I said no.
I would first like to make this suggestion. It may sound a bit insane at first, but at second glance you may find it could make a lot of sense. Why don't you take the same medicine he is on for two weeks and see for yourself what YOU think about it? I have nine children and I would stand in front of a freight train to protect them if its what I needed to do. Most parents would say the say thing.
That is difficult because what often happens, kids that are seen as the kids that are causing trouble/getting in trouble begin to become outcasted a bit. Rule followers have big issues with these kids and they start to steer clear. By no means do I think that is fair so I wish teachers would find ways to deal with it that didn't draw singular attention to a child especially since it is often transitional in nature and kids mature out of it.
Your daughter can indeed just be immature.
I think if you have concerns-------- your next steps could vary depending on how old he is. If he is in the school setting, you can ask for a formal evaluation from the school district. If he is younger, you can still do that and then your child could enter the early intervention program/preschool provided by your local school district by law.
t diagnosed with ADD until age 6 at the earliest. Kids can show behaviors like ADD/ADHD up until that point. And many things can be behind the focas problem besides just ADD. She may be immature, she may have a different delay, she may be emotionally distraught with the loss of a parent (it sounds like since you care for her), etc.
I just bought a GPS tracking device.. intend to put in his bag , sew it in such a way he wont meddle with it. Kids like to meddle with gagdets. Phones are not allowed in school. He need to use a public phone.
He doesn't really have a best friend. More likely is he has many friends but none who is really close to him. He is much more at ease with adults rather than children. He loves to talk to old grannies or auntie etc which sometimes i reminded him not to talk to stranger..
for children according to the pi (package insert---- the bible if you will regarding a drug). However, the class of drugs has been used for years in kids (good or bad). The issue is that no company would risk the liability of enrolling children into the studies the FDA requires to prove the drugs safety. The class of drugs is fairly safe (especially so in adults) and work very well. But I don't know for sure what happens with kids.
The spanking part I can understand as kids being kids and playing "house" (Even though we do not discipline our son in that way)...the part that really concerned me was when she had him insert the spatula in her butt. I guess it was more her butt crack. As soon as we came home I talked with him about not touching and clothes staying on but as I mentioned he's only 3 so how much sunk in, I'm not sure but I'm going to keep mentioning those issues as time goes on.
