Avatar n tn What meds is he taking for ADHD as they have side effects could be causing this behavior so speak to your Doctor. I would find out the cause before resorting to any method of discipline it will only make matters worse, what is it he lies about if you yell at him it may upset him and he will lie to protect himself..

Avatar f tn She has always been able to sit still in class and church, so I wonder if she truly is ADHD, but her impulsivenss and inappropriate behavior is my concern. She has neve been able to keep friends. ( which really hurts her self esteem) I am heartbroken but I have other children and her problems are putting such a strain on my family.
Avatar f tn I have been recieving phone calls from the teacher for about every other wk because of his behavior problems he is not really iniciating he want to be part of the group. he can't sit still for story time, he bites his nail and always has to be doing somthing and basically is always in his own world. He bosses the children around as if he was an adult which is not good for the kids there.
Avatar n tn I am at my wits end with my 7 year old son. First let me say, he and his 3 1/2 siblings were adopted. I know their mother used drugs, but not how much, how often, etc. I know she was using meth when he was very young, but don't know if she used it while pregnant. I am trying to homeschool him. He refuses to do his work. In addition he gets into EVERYTHING the minute my back is turned. He breaks things.
Avatar m tn She is not mean or violent but has a lot of behavior problems. She does not want to play at recess with anyone. She wants to be with the teacher. Her teacher tells me that she can do the work but only with assistance. She is not very mature for her age. The teacher said she acts like a baby alot. She is a very whinny child. She is on medication for ADHD. The doctor tells me that she is not in high school so it doesn't matter. But I don't want her to fall behind. Can you help me?

3023697 tn?1340131407 Will orapred cause a childs behavior to involve into bad behavior?My son is 6 yrs old and was diagnoised with duchanenne muscular dystophy a few monthes back . His behavior has increasingly gotten worse. I think his meds have something to do with it. Thanks in advance.
Avatar n tn DO YOU notice she has a hard time following directions?
Avatar f tn If his behavior has gotten worse, it would indicate that the med is making it worse - which could mean that he does not have ADHD. Of course, there could be other things going on that would make his behavior worse. So you can't go by just one day. What his parents do need to do is to let the doctor know what is going on. Don't wait till the end of the month. I am curious as to how old the child is and what kind of a doctor he is seeing for this?
Avatar n tn One of the reasons why it is important that children have the benefit of health insurance is to be able to obtain help in situations such as yours. There is no doubt your son acn be helped. Aggressive behavior per se is not a component of ADHD. Howver, one component of Combine-type ADHD is impulsivity, and your son does appear to be having problems with controlling his aggressive impulses. If his ADHD is at least of moderate severity, it invites pharmacological treatment in addition to therapy.
Avatar n tn I have problem with my son's behavior . he doesn't have ADHD or anything like that he just doesn't listen . I have tried to talk with him in nice way , spank him I have tried everything and nothing works with him. he does listen for day or two and back to old habits . please give me some advice .
Avatar f tn Her mother said she was told she was years ago but nothing seems to have been done about it.
Avatar n tn He also plays team sport 2 times a week and has had no problems there. I keep on getting this ADD/ADHD thing from school only... ANY IDEAS????
Avatar f tn The problem with really intelligent kids is that they problem solve so fast. And the problem with 4 year olds is that they don't have alot of self control. Put it together and ya - you've got problems. Throw the possibility of ADHD into the mix and everything gets a lot worse. I really don't know if he has ADHD. How long ago did the doctors see him and what kind of a doctor saw him?
Avatar f tn It is interesting that they started him on Risperdal instead of a stimulant med. Risperdal is a great med for bipolar - especially dysphoric manias and/or mixed states instead of euphoric manias. So I am guessing that early on they might have been having trouble figuring out if he had Bipolar or ADHD? At any rate, that is a tough combination for a child to have - and perhaps even harder on the parent. The problem is that both areas need to be treated.
Avatar f tn My four year old grandchild/fosterchild has been to the doctor and now take meds for ADHD. Frist was riddelen that did not work at all. New medication is Risperidone. No change has been noticed. This child before meds was pooping and peeing on her bedroom floor and even after meds. Im at my end and dont understand this kind of behavior.
Avatar f tn Although there are many more problems arriving the doctor thinks its more behavior problems I am dealing with. I am at my witts ends and have tried everything I can think of. This is our day. 7am wake her up she cries and has a fit. She know she has to be down stairs ready at 7:40am to eat and for us to be out the door on time. She Cries and hells and fights with her sister she plays around makes messes and will eventually find her way down stairs at 8am or so.
Avatar n tn From the time he was three years old he has had behavior problems. I now think they were related to anxiety and aspergers. I have observed at our home if I break his routine or he is annoyed by someone else (usually his step sister), he becomes very agitiated and 'has a melt down'. I suspect that it is aspergers but his step mom keeps telling me it just years years of bad behavior and being allowed to act this way.
Avatar f tn Beware... when the tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. you posted to an add/adhd forum so of course the suggestion are to "test" for add/adhd. If you ask the school, who want to believe that every behavioural problem is a diagnosable and treatable - in the hope that all children can be well behaved through the magic pill, and they will steer you that way.
Avatar n tn t have many friends and when he is around my friends children he always causes problems (they are girls). What other emotional problems would fit his behavior. It cause so much stress in our household. Oh yeah-punishments don't seem to work !
