ADHD... they need structure. Change or lots of different going ons... runs their little brains ragged. When mine first starting goig through it... he was 3
in preschool... on the tables, under the tables, sneaking up behind the teacher and tripping her, hitting her, walking by & hitting kids on the head etc... there was really not a time he was calm. His little head was trying to process everything around him so it was going 90 MPH.. All the posters EVERYWHERE... different learning stations... etc... it was too much. During his 2nd year of preschool... it was worse, many calls from the director (to me about him) and visits with the teachers about the days happenings ... It was acutally one specific incident on Memorial weekend I will NEVER EVER forget that pushed me over the edge and made me seek professional help. A part of his life I don't know that I would EVER be able to tell him about...
The pills slow them down long enough to know if they are doing right from wrong because their mind is able to process things BEFORE he does them. I dont know if your son is having to much change in his life right now...it sounds like there isnt alot of consistancy between the 2 homes which is difficult for ANY child. I dont know that I would say yes to the diagnosis ... maybe just a rough patch in his life. Good luck hon... 2 homes is difficult on those kiddos... You're doing a good job momma...Give him big hugs!!!
