[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 528907"] Hi, and welcome to our little family. Who diagnosed him with ADHD? That diagnosis might be a start, but clearly it's not what the root of the problem is and the medications are either not helping, or making things worse. Some medications cause aggression as a side effect and you might think that the child is really getting worse when it's actually the medications that are wreaking havoc with his little system. I agree with MidwestMom that an evaluation by a neuropsychologist is needed. Are the boys covered by insurance? If so, call them and see if they can recommend one. What doe his mom say about he behavioral issues? Does she try to stop your parents from medicating him? Is she "on board" with the idea of getting him evaluated and getting him help? [/QUOTE]
