multiple adhd kids | ADHD Information

Share
I'm new here i am looking for ways to get my 2 kids with adhd to be able to get along better with each other. They share a room and are close in age (10 and 8). I feel like I've tried everything but they just constantly fight and get into physical confrentations all the time. i think this is all causing some emotional stress on my 8 yr old. any ideas please help! thanksWish I could help - I've just got one child.Have you looked at the "marble system" thread at the top of the page? A lot of parents here seem to find it effective.
Also, is there any way you could put some sort of divider in the room so that each kid has his own space? Maybe that would help, although I know my kids hardly spend time in their rooms anyway, but still it's nice to be able to have your own space of some sort.
That's about all I can think of at the moment.
I don't have any advice, but wanted to let you know I'm in the same situation. My two are 9 and 7. I would love to know the answer too! Good luck!

   I have 3 with adhd ages 10,8,7. I think it is impossible for siblings without adhd to get along all of the time, let alone kids with minds that are on something elese before they even finish arguing. I just try and keep them busy with things they like to do alone and together. Marbles,chess,cards,puzzles,computer and video game time. Everything in our house is rationed and timed. They have to earn extra time with video games, they loose time when they act out. I make them hug and tell each other I love you if they get out of hand(they HATE that one). And my favorite thing is making them go play OUTSIDE!!

Hi, I wish I had some advice for you too. Mine are 12 and 10, and fight constantly, to the point of it being embarrassing in public at times. Both are ADHD; dd is impulsive, ds is inattentive, both are medicated. The older they get the more physical the fighting has become; even though I take away privileges, etc., it doesn't mean anything to them. DD is already as strong as I am, so physical restraint is becoming less of an option.

If you find a solution, let me know!
