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!

Keep venting! It's good for you to get it all out! Your son has just began going to play therapy... things will hopefully get better soon. You're such a strong woman! I'm cheering for you, your son and your hubby!
