Question by swillhite1977: How do you teach a child that has ADHD to behave without medication?
Does he have any hope for a normal lifestyle? He has done something that was so totally not like him today and ticked me off really bad. He hit a kid in the back of the head with a rock unknown size and put a whole in the kids head and made it bleed at school. My child is normally loving not a mommas boy but close and only does things so drastic if someone has really upset him and it takes a lot to make him mad. He is only 6 yrs old, 55 lbs., 3’5″ tall. He is normally bashful and he’ll stand and smile at you if you’re a stranger talking to him he’ll hide behind my leg, but he likes to observe people. He’ll share just about anything, and he misses his brother when he’s gone even though when he’s here it seems like he fights about 50% of the time.
I have put him in soccer and he pretty much just stood there. I ahven’t tried taking sugars away yet, but I have some of the red and the park is ok, but he gets scared on some things, and I have waited til he got into kindergarden and meds were the last resort, but know I don’t know if they work. He is really calm and we can talk to him and he does artistic things and he thinks and says REALLY smart things when he is on his meds, the other thing is he was almost diagnosed with asmatha, but they backed off cause he only takes breathing treatments when the weather is messed up or pollen is high.
