We asked our dr. the same thing. It somewhat depends on where you are as to what you can do. If you're out in public, and you have to carry him (my son is only 5 so I can still do that); grab him from behind gently in a "basket hold" and take him to the car to "cool off". Do not engage in conversation. Just let him cool off. At home, if you don't think he'll endanger anyone or break anything, just walk away and let him cool off...again, no conversation. Also, we had tried Concerta and that made him much more aggressive. We switched to Metadate CD and he is now MUCH calmer..a medication change may help? ↑ |
