we have two boys. Jonathan will be 5 in April and Andrew will be 7 in June.

we have GOT to get things under control in this house.
Let me preface by saying my youngest is ADHD w/ Sensory Integration. So he CAN be a huge handful. His medication for the ADHD works wonders and he goes to occupational therapy for his Sensory issues. I do take all this into consideration. But let me tell you, early am before his meds are given and late afternoon until bedtime are horendous here.

my oldest has a mild form of ADD, but only takes meds for school concentration. It doesn't really affect his behaviour if he has has meds or not.

So, hubby and I are at our wits end. We are tired of the contant yelling, "go to your rooms', etc...its causing friction between us!

We have decided we need to crack down NOW, and we think we're going to start with a reward/chore chart.

Time outs do not do a thing for them. The only punishemnts that show any effect are taking away tv time and riding their bicycles and dirt bikes.

So I guess my question is, if you used this method, how did it work out for you?

I think this was more of a vent than anything, and if you've gotten this far, thanks!!

One harried momma!!
