[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is 9 yo, on adderral doing well with controlling hyperactivity but emotional outbursts are frequent.  Meds have not made a difference at all, any small setback results in crying. He is in indiivdual therapy and social skills, I am not seeing any improvement. He will cry in class over crumbled paper, or running out of time to complete a project. Has a very low frustration threshold.  Therapist is suggesting that this is due to immaturity and that he will grow out of it.  The problem is that we are going on year 2 in school where he consistently cries many times per week in class.  His teachers want to implement a behavioral chart for crying.  I dont know if that is productive.  Any suggestions? [/quote]

No at 9 probably won't get over it.  Don't punish a kid for crying.  Get a new therapist.

Try an antidepressant instead.

Also these things take time.  Keep track of things by writing them down.  Try behavioral therapy.  Read the Kazdin method.[/quote]

Grow out of it.[/quote]
