A question about behavior.......... | ADHD Information

Sorry my son was a nightmare everywhere, even though he used to say "I tell my brain to be good mommy".

My son is the same at home and at school.

He has only been on the zypexa for 2 days. I am hoping it helps with the anger. He must feel so terrible inside to act out the way he does sometimes. I just keep praying I am doing the right thing for him with the meds. We start seeing a behavioral therapist next Thursday. Full steam ahead is what I keep saying to my self.

Take care everyone and thanks.

You're on the right track then

This CAN get better.

hang in there and talk to the child maybe they can tell you why they acting the way they do cause my child is now 13 and i noticed when he get really frustrated in school and he dont show these behaviors in school everyone at home pays for it at home with his angry and abuse but i have learned in the 7 years i have been dealing with this we sit down one on one and talk about how he is feeling and we work something out but it will take a while even though we just want the best for our children they dont trust us completely but they soon will but we do a exercise called in our house is venting and first you say your frustrated then i will be who or what your frustrated at and ask him what or who am i then i tell him to tell me why i got you frustrated and we talk it out and once he vented he seems to feel better and we go through this exercise often and my other normal kids have caught on and has done this with us and it seems to help especially if they are frustrated at the sibling and then the sibling understands more and more about sam what not to do around him and how to handle sams frustration it took him a while to trust me in this exercise but now he come to me and says lets vent before he get to frustrated and the we have a fair evening you know i didnt say great nothing is ever great but is nice to have a fair evening.

Hey everyone,

I was wondering how many of your adhd kids can control behavior issues at school. My child is of course inattentive and seems lost at points at school but he is never hyper or aggresive there, he can chatter too much but never disrespectful to teacher. At home home is where I see anger and crazy behavior toward sibling and us. He would be way too embrassed to act that way there it seems.

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Gail

My 6 YO has no trouble at all at school. None. Her teacher thinks she is wonderful. She's so moody, angry, defiant and hyper at home, but not at school! I don't get it, but the doctors seem to think it's not all that unusual. Ugh. I guess if I had to choose, I would like her to know how to control herself and act nice in public, but I wish it didn't have to be one or the other. Gail, is your child on medication? Is it possible what you're seeing at home is meds having worn off? Or maybe it's rebound (some people have a hard hour or two as meds wear off)?

Hey,

Child is on meds, 27 mg concerta and now 5mg of zyprexa for anger, sleep and eating issues.

He has always been this way with or without meds. I have noticed bipolar can have this symptom and it worries me. The stims haved helped with anger but in morning when they wore off and sometimes during day he would be awful to us at home.

Thanks

My youngest spent so much emotional energy keeping it together at school, that it took a toll, pushing her into anxiety and depression. She showed the defiance and rage at home first because she was more comfortable letting all the bad stuff show with her family. The psychologist said that this is because they feel safer letting those who love them most all the bad behaviors-we are a safe outlet.

Meds have made a huge difference all the way around.

Take care everyone and thanks.
