visiting friends | ADHD Information
my son has a friend that torments him like this & I have pulled the friend aside on munerous occassions & told him that he cannot come over & play if he continues to make my son cry. i have also told my son that this friend isn't a nice friend if all he does is make you cry & that we need to meet some of the other kids in the neighborhood, kids that more his age & like the same things as him, etc. I have also mentioned it to the kids parents, they are close friends with me & my husband. It isn't easy, but we have to protect our kids.My son also gets very upset when teased, but he avoids teasers like the plague. Another option is to discipline Matt in front of the parents, describing in great detail why it is not nice to tease. You can do it in a nice way. Then perhaps the parents will then understand exactly how you feel about the behavior.HA, well go buy em a bb gun at wal mart thenWhen it's your own kids teasing one another, I'm not sure what the answer is. When it's a "friend," I question the friendship. Brandon should not be subjected to someone who treats him badly, just because you want to be friends with the kid's parents. It's not fair to Brandon. You should never purposely put Brandon in a situation, where he is someone else's target. If you want to be friends with the parents, you will have to do this when Brandon isn't around. Brandon really wants to go over to "Louise" and "Scott's". "Scott" lets Brandon use their ride on lawn mower. He isn't cutting their grass. He really loves to ride it around! I understand what you're saying though Lillian. "Matt" is 14 and goes out with his friends a lot. I will take Brandon over to "louise" and "Scott's" when "Matt" is gone.Sheri it's nice to know that I am not alone. My situation drives me crazy too! I don't want to stop visiting my friends though..."Louise" and "Scott" are good friends of mine. Brandon and I enjoy visiting them sometimes. Their son "Matt" is an instigator. "Matt" enjoys teasing people when he is bored. Since Brandon has ADHD and is emotionally immature for his age he is a prime target for "Matt". "Matt" also loves to tease his brother "Larry". "Louise" and "Scott" think this is fine. "Scott" enjoys teasing people all in fun at times. The problem is that Brandon doesn't like "Matt" to tease him. He gets quite loud and vocal about it. Does anyone else go through this with their ADHD child?lovemyboy, my sarah teases dillon all the time.. it drives me crazy.... sarah is 18yrs old and ADHD you would think she knows better..
