Diet?
My 5yr.old grandson has ADHD.His doctor has him on concerta, it helps him to slow down.but his behavior is still pretty bad. he also takes a bedtime pill that turns him into a zombie. his behavior in school is just as bad but he is making A"s. My daughter is at her wits end and said he is out of control.it breaks my heart for both of them. she has tried taking things away, time outs,and spanking.nothing works. she hates taking him anywhere cause she never knows what he will do next. last night she said his sister and him were going to bed and he pulled his underwear down and went p.p on her!!! he knows right from wrong it seems he just cant stop himself.and i often see him get mad at himself for his behaivor.he is a very loving child. i heard if you change their diet that helps.does anyone know if it works? katzden |

Impulsitivity
Your comment that your grandson knows his behavior is wrong, but he just can't seem to help himself, is a sign of ADHD impulsiveness. Children with ADHD often act before they think, because they are unable to control their initial response to a situation. When their ability to "self-regulate” is compromised, they can’t modify their behavior with future consequences in mind. Here are a few articles that might help reign in some of that impulsive behavior: Parenting ADHD Children: Secrets to Better Discipline Expert Advice for Reigning in Impulsive Behavior Impulse Control: Helping ADHD Students Manage Their Behavior I hope this helps.

Diet
We took my 5 year old son (now 6) to a behavioral therapyst when he was first diagnosed with ADHD. We wanted to look at options besides meds and she reccomended a low to no sugar/high protein diet. It seemed to help with the ups and downs but he was still having behavioral issues. |
