I have a 10 year old son with ADHD, emphasis on the H and a lack of impulse control. He is very smart and though homework can be a challange still gets mostly A's(medicine helps with this). Our biggest problems are social. He is a bossy kid who needs to be in control. He also feels compelled to police other kids when he thinks they are doing something wrong. He is loud and obnoxious and can not seem to just go with the flow. As you can guess this behavior does not make him very popular. But by far the worst problem is that when he is bothered, frustrated, overwhelmed, or made fun of(which happens often) he blows up in an emotional fit. This means screaming, crying, and stomping like a 5 year old. This of course makes the other kids pick on him more creating a vicious cycle. I think this is really starting to depress him. At this point he is all noise but I am worried that someday he will snap and either hurt himself or someone else. I don't know if this is ODD or just an over sensitive kid with ADHD. I have an appt sched with a child phychiatrist in a couple of weeks but in the mean time does anyone have any advice? ↓
