My 9 yr old Has ADHD and has been on meds for almost 1yr now, but we are hitting a new area I need a little advice on. How do you mediate between her and my 12 yr old who is now getting to that stage were she is how do you say a little(irritable). They are now fighting all the time. My older Daughter acts like my younger one is trying to killer and my younger one is same old same old. Her Impulse control is still poor and she tends to sound like a perfectionist. While Daughter 1 wants quite time to listen to music daughter 2 is jumping around trying to get her to go out side and play. It feels like all rules have gone out the window and I find I'm losing Ground fast. How do I Prevent a Preteen from causing what I can only call the irritation game to escalate in to all out sibling War?
Desperate Mom
Puberty is hell. I have a 12 year old boy and a 7 year old son. I haven't quite figured out how to stop the wars here. My youngest is the hyper adhd and my oldest is inattentive adhd. They both get into trouble when this happens, I don't care who starts it. A few times I have made my 12 year old take a time out like I do his brother and he thinks he is to old for these and it does make him wake up about what he is doing for awhile. I wish I had some words of advice for you both, but I am going thru the same thing with my oldest and youngest. My daughter is 12, and my son is 8 (adhd) and its a constant battle around my house between those two. Some days I just want to pull my hair out! My daughter also likes to get Chase going, purposly tries to push his buttons. For instance, lastnight Chase was sleeping and she just kept saying his name over and over and over, just to get him awake and to get a rise out of him. (I know how she operates). So I hope someone has some words of advice for us
