My son does the same and (don't judge please) even when swatted actually ASKED for more and didn't cry. I had him on ADHD medication (non stimulant) for 2 years with a psychiatrist that my pediatrican set me up with and they worked with me on costs. I decided this past summer I would ween him off since he wasn't in school and we have been able to not have to go back taking them anymore. He still has his moments but I promise you I am happier, things will get better for you, it does take time though. <br /><br />My list of things tried before medication: Vitamin E and C, no change. Taking away everything he owns to play with, change a LITTLE until he got something back and then behavior right back to before. Swats (spanking)listed above. Ignoring it, he just got louder and LOUDER until I thought I was going to go nuts. Sending him to therapy with a psychologist, nothing against the guy but he had NO clue what I was going through or what to do with my son. So yeah, I tried and can understand your frustration! Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14460199723257740416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9053187894549395684.post-5536847604986862212012-11-18T19:29:38.703-08:002012-11-18T19:29:38.703-08:00Oh my, you just described what is going on at my h...Oh my, you just described what is going on at my house with my son! He has severe ADD and is suspected of being on the spectrum. Basically it means he doesn't live on the same plane as the rest of us. We don't medicate, we just endure. He is a great kid, but school is quite a rollercoaster. He has been on an IEP for his ADD and his behavior issues since the beginning of first grade, and it has helped (kindergarten was a NIGHTMARE!)<br /><br />I don't know if that's what is going on with your son because I'm not a teacher or a doctor or his mother (and moms ALWAYS know best, thank you very much.) If you need someone to talk to who is going through the same thing, please don't hesitate to leave a comment on my blog! :-) I found your blog through the Friday Blog Hop, by the way!<br /><br />I'm curious how this is working-I've never tried what you did, but it sounds logical to me. Making him accountable for his behavior may just be the ticket. We've taken away the important stuff to my son (DS, TV privileges, etc) and it doesn't really seem to make much of a difference. Sigh.... It's rough being a mom!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9053187894549395684.post-5647127906223104712012-11-17T05:03:16.861-08:002012-11-17T05:03:16.861-08:00It sounds like he may have ADHD, my daughter has i...It sounds like he may have ADHD, my daughter has it and it sounds just like her. We have also taken all her things away and it doesn't matter, she physically can't control herself. I'd talk to the pediatrician and see what he/she says.Kraus House Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11202341154461834446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9053187894549395684.post-83731214879856978502012-11-17T00:32:00.432-08:002012-11-17T00:32:00.432-08:00Oh brother, he sounds like a handful!Oh brother, he sounds like a handful!Kellie @ Delightfully Ludicroushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18226603919012169939noreply@blogger.com
