[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son has ADHD. Just diagnosed this year at age 10. But he was a lot like that at 4. 1,2,3 Magic was really helpful for that. The countdown lets him focus on his behavior and therefore modify it. As honestly it was good for me, too, so I could at times manage my anger. His consequence was losing TV. "If I get to 3, you lose TV."'a great deterrent for him. And as a rule of thumb for my son, he needs twice as much physical exercise as what I would think, to help keep him calmer the rest of the day. [/quote] OP here, thanks. We tried 1,2,3 magic when he was younger, but that didn't work so well. However we have realized that if we tell him that we are going to take away something that he likes, that is a good motivator. Especially when it comes to a fun toy or his leapfrog tablet. It might be more "fair" to him to give him the 1,2,3 warning before doing so. Thanks. Also, thanks for the input re: physical exercise...
