[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 290688, member: 6705"] Welcome to our little corner! First off, my stepson was diagnosis'd with ADHD in 2nd grade and now we know that it's probably NOT. Also not ODD, either. A pediatrician can Rx pills, but unless they are specialists, I would be very wary of one the diagnosis's a child with ADHD. Boys are hyper. This is normal for them. However... may I suggest - what a lot of people will - to set up a neuropsychologist for him? It sounds to me like there's a bit more going on here. Aside from all that, could you give us some more background? For instance, if there are any psychological issues/addictions/etc.in the child's background, divorce, medical, and so on? And... Would you set up a signature so we get a snapshot of who you are? I helps. (It's under User CP, Edit Signature - and you can see my example here.) I'm not the most experienced person on this board by a long shot. Others will be along who know a LOT more than I do. But I definitely welcome you! PS - His bad behavior isn't your fault. You're trying to HELP, for goodness' sake. Sure, there may be things you need to change, but there's more to this. Trust me. [/QUOTE]
