How do you deal with a young child (elementary age) that has ADD and reacts 60% of time by hitting when he is angry upset or accidentally hurt by another kid?
I am asking for my seven year old nephew that has ADD and that is in counseling for emotional issues and anger management. |

Hi Rhapsody, I suggest checking out a website for parents of children with mentel health disorders. It's www.conductdisorders.com Lots of information, support and reccomended books. This site and the people there were extremly helpful when my son was younger. Good luck to your nephew, his parents and you. Hope this helps. And what a wonderful aunt you are to be concerned with helping him
Hugz, BL

I would also suggest that the mother look into some self esteem help for him. I'm guessing that he feels that its his fault that things aren't going right. Also if he isn't on medication, or doesn't have a very set routine. Meaning that he knows exactly what is expected at what time. Then he is going to have meltdowns more. Donna |

Wanted to post an update and let everyone know that his mother took him for testing and he was finally given an official Dx of ADHD and has been placed on Adderall 10 mg per day and it seems to be helping - with in the last three weeks I have seen my nephew become a more calm and socially interactive child.
The only issue I see at the moment is his lack of appetite.... any suggestions? |
