Hi! Your description of your son sounds very similar to my son. My son is 6 years old and has ADHD. He started school in August and has had a very HARD year. I read a lot of books about ADHD and Character Traits (ex. think before you act) with him (All Dogs Have ADHD is a great book), we TRY to be positive with him, he goes to counseling, attends a group to work on his social skills (he has almost none) and takes vitamins. I'm not sure about putting him on medication, what do you think? This has been very hard on our whole family. My husband works a lot and is having a hard time understanding this is a medical condition. What kind of punishment do you give your son? I feel punishment is hard because I understand my son can't help many of the things he does, but at the same time we can't let him run around wild. Well keep your head up; you’re not alone in this battle.
