Answer #1

My son is 8 and has the worst temper tantrums. I got to your point of helplessness and I had to have the strength in myself to change the way I parented. Most kids act out because we as parents let them get away with things just to have peace and quiet for five minutes. That in my case was the worst thing I could have done. I made my son into a monster. I just had enough one day and completely cleaned his room out of his most prized possessions and wrote down a set of ground rules posted on the fridge of what I expected out of him. I grounded him for one day every time he acted out and told him he would not get his stuff back until he acted his age and not like a baby. This has worked and he is a totally different kid! It will be trying because you haven’t seen hell until you do this but stick to your guns and DON’T GIVE IN. Giving in tells them that they won and it’ll continue. Continue the meds and consult your dr before trying anything. My son has been on this program for 3 months and it has made him into a different kid. Also, when trying this praise them for the good they do. Good Luck!

Answer #2

Medications are a way to turn children into zombies and hide the real problem. Try to find the underlying problem that is causing her to act out so much. Children are not meant to be drugged into being calm. With enough time, attention, and patience you can help her to be a wonderful, calm, and happy child. Good luck! Sam

Answer #3

What you’re experiencing is quite normal for a child with ADHD.

I wish I could tell you there was an easy solution, but there isn’t. All you can do is stay on top of her and make sure she knows you won’t put up with this kind of behaviour - if you let loose even a little, she will trample you.

As she gets older, she will start learning better how to deal with her impulsiveness…my son is ADHD as well and he’s 13 and only starting to learn self-control.

I’m not a believer in God, but since all these people are telling you to talk to God, I recommend asking him for patience…

Answer #4

I don’t think God can tell you about her medication really hannah, but if it might make her feel better then I’m all for it. Best wishes!

Answer #5

Consult her Dr for options.

Answer #6

I don’t think that God can alleviate her condition much, but I do think that talking to your family doctor would help a lot. Perhaps you could ask about any side effects of her medication, or find out some ways of calming her down. It helps to do some research beforehand to take with you too.

Answer #7
