I suspect my step son have ODD and ADHD is near anything I can do at home to gain control of his behavior?
Answers: Your proverb you suspect it, so i take it he hasn't be to the doctor to be evaluated, that is the best solution to start, but if thats unfeasible, my son has ADHD and it is something you own to be very long-suffering with , if you dont' want him on medication, you can variation his diet to calm him down, no foods near red dye in it, primarily nothing already contained by a package,,,cookies chips..etc...it's concrete but it works....coffee or energy drinks if truth be told will help a tag on child focus and calm down because caffiene have the opposite effect on a adhd child as for curious i have no clue how to control that in need the doctors help
I be told that pea juice works economically. there is something surrounded by it that helps beside hyper active children. Stay away from most sugars. It have really made a differance with my brother whom also be told that he had adhd and he is better but it does not cure it a short time ago helps "tame" him for a moment.
No, take him to the doctor....he will prescibe some medication!
Until you acquire a diagnosis from a qualified doctor your suspicions don't hold water. Just suspecting it doesn't miserable it's true.
Take him to the Dr. and get him put on meds. My son is 10 and ADHD. He have violent annoyance tantrums. He is now on Concerta and Risperdal and is doing wonderful. He get straight A's and has be on honor roll every marking time at school. He plays baseball & soccer and other makes the All Star Team. I didn't want to do meds any. But with college I felt I have to. He is doing GREAT since his meds!!
Go to the doctor together and follow his/her suggestions.
1. Take him to your pediatrician. If you are against medicating, ask them for alternative ways of taking care of it. See if they can refer you to a child psychologist that can minister to you with behavioral adjustment.
2. Keep the diet all inborn. No processed foods or artificial colors/flavors. If you pick it off a tree or plant, afterwards it's good. If it's a lean meat, later it's good, as long as it's not a processed meat (like salami or a pressed lunchmeat next to lots of fillers in it). Limit sugar intake to no more than one fruity drink per time. (No soda or kool-aid or other drinks with artificial colors)
i own both of those and getting my butt beat seem very decisive. if i do something wrong and i get grounded or whip i dont do it any more..
Will his mother or your husband take him to be diagnoses? I am not a big admirer of putting children on these meds if they have not truly be diagnosed with it. But aphorism that, on the flip side of the coin, If this child truly has these disorders, they are miserable! So for the sake of the child cart him to a doctor for testing
