FRM A PARENT OF AN 8 YEAR OLD ADHD CHILD!

He comes home from school quite subdued - unusual but I enjoy the silence despite worrying. Ask him what is wrong - answer is a surly NOTHING!

Homework was easier than most days. Says he is not feeling well so I let him take a break. At this point I have to get some work done in my office (work from home), he tells me he got the rest of his reading done. In my heart I know he *might* be lying but I take his word for it.

Then BANG - mood switches from surly and subdued to bouncy and rude!!!!

He has been argumentative with me since then. Even though I PROMISE myself I wont do this, I get drawn into the inane, senseless arguments time and time again.

Good grief, this clever child is but 8 years old. Going on 16!

Just venting!
