Behavior affecting relationships | ADHD Information
I spoke to my daughters p=doc about this issue with her a few years ago. She always has to turn the situation around to her way. Even little things, like if I say ok you need to make your bed, shower then get brush your teeth. She'll say without even thinking, I'm brushing my teeth first, then showering then making my bed. No big deal really right as long as it's all done? Well yes it is a big deal when it is abuot every single thing, every single day. Also as you said, her friends dont want to or have to deal with a freind like that. I have found this to be MUCH worse when her meds aren't right. He told me that would make sense as this is very typicl behavior for kids with ADHD and for anixety. It's their way of "controlling" situations as they always feel "so out of control" in their head . We are in that place right now also so I feel for you. She is just plain annoying at this point! i feel for her too, she is just not right. I cant wait for next p-doc appointment.My 6 yr old son has become very demanding of attention lately. He does this at home with me, dad and older brother and at school with his teachers and his friends. He is very critical if his brother and friends aren't playing with him the exact way he wants and he will quickly let them know that he is unhappy with them by complaining - loudly. It is annoying behavior and now his friends at school don't want to play with him b/c he is constantly fussing at them for not doing things his way. At home, we're constantly having to remind him of the proper way to speak to us and that complaining all the time makes people mad/upset and not want to do things for him. I've tried telling him that sometimes we have to play what our friends want and we can't always do exactly what we want when we want (I know a tough lesson to learn). I just want the constant complaining to stop. Any suggestions?
