[QUOTE="Malika, post: 626311, member: 11227"] Hi HMBgal. Sorry to hear that the medication is not as helpful as it seemingly once was? My own experience with J is that the medication made his rages WORSE, much worse. I don't know how that applies to your grandson. As for talk therapy, I have read several times that it is not appropriate for ADHD kids because they cannot apply the "skills" they learn abstractly in a calm setting to ones in which their frustration and impulsivity are going 19 to the dozen... makes sense. It is a vicious circle because the only way kids can learn these things truly is from their peers - and if the peers withdraw, the child can no longer learn. Your grandsom WILL be learning things, in his own way and time, in terms of social relationships - it just seems slower and longer than everyone (including him) would like. I wish I had more concrete and helpful suggestions... could do with them myself. [/QUOTE]
