[QUOTE="Crayola13, post: 708520, member: 21066"] My adopted son was born addicted to cocaine. He hasn't had any behavioral problems as of yet, but has multiple severe anxiety disorders with depression that can be crippling. He has mild ADHD, but doesn't have to take medications for that. He is a very curious kid and likes to set and achieve goals, which is why his ADHD hasn't caused his grades to drop. If our son isn't involved in activities and constantly coming and going, he will have a nuclear meltdown. He doesn't handle boredom well. He swims, volunteers at the animal shelter, and sometimes goes to the indoor climbing wall. It's exhausting for us to run him back and forth everywhere. But, he has to be constantly busy or he gets depressed and has panic attacks. Variety is good. If he sits around watching TV or doing nothing, that is when the problems start. Get the grandchildren into therapy. Our son started going at age 4 and still goes. [/QUOTE]
