Plz help, bf son seems to be ADHD. | ADHD Information

I would suggest a full evaluation so that your family can know what is going on and potential ways to deal with the issues. If it is ADHD it can come with co-existing conditions like anxiety, ODD and others. You should also look at Ogram's marble system at the top of the board. Its is a positive reinforcement behavior plan tha can be very effective. If the father also has ADHD, this should be addressed as well, because inconsistant parenting can cause more havoc for a family.

Here are some places for more info:

vickie39416.6079282407I'm new to this, he's asked me to do my research to understand his 6 year-old son who has not been diagnosed but exhibits most ADHD symptoms.

At first I was angry that I had to deal with such a misbehaving little boy, he shows no respect or concern for other humans beings. Now I feel guilty it has never been his fault or his dad's parenting.

The problem is this is this: I have a 8 year-old daughter that has the hardest time getting along with this boy. He's constantly mean to her, hurting her both physically and emotionally. It's a constant pattern, and I'm feel horrible making my daughter go through this. I feel even worse for not loving his son and considering going my own way because of him.

Please, give me some insight! I've read several webpages, but nothing I can relate to. Is it normal for an ADHD boy to be mean, selfish, and forceful with another kid? Is that part of ADHD or his own personality?
