[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 635771, member: 13260"] Some times the kids hold it together at school, then kind of unravel at home where it's "safe." I've seen it happen over and over again with my grandson, but so much less than it used to. He's seven and a half, not truly ADHD either, but yet stims for him had an immediate good effect in many ways. Not perfect; I miss his exuberance, and my heart breaks when I see his little hands shake. But, he knows how well he's doing and is proud of himself and his executive functioning skills have improved sooooo much. It sounds like you're seeing that with your little fellow, too. It's been a combo of us all learning techniques that work with our differently wired boy, and a wonderful teacher, and yes, probably the medications. His mother wants to try to give him a medication vacation, but his father and step mother won't hear of it, so we'll see. That's a whole 'nuther issue. Two steps forward, one back. Still progress, although aggravating as hell when you feel like that they are reverting back to an old, maladaptive behavior and won't be talked out of it. But, there just so young and immature.
