[quote=Anonymous]My 8 year old DS is in 2nd grade and has a diagnosis of ADHD hyperactive impulsive type (he got neuropsych testing at 7 years old, he's currently not medicated while we wait to get in with a covered psychiatrist).  He gets easily upset and it seems one student in particular (a former friend) who he had a falling out on the playground last week is provoking him intentionally to get him into trouble by mocking and poking his tongue out at him, and "telling on him" for doing the same thing other students are doing.

My son has gotten much better at managing his feelings and outbursts in class but I can tell this is really getting to him.  He's started biting his nails and picking at the skin around both his nail beds and toenails recently.  The issues seem to be happening during unsupervised times like at recess and in the lunchroom.

Last week the child told the lunchroom attendant that my DS was the one talking during quiet cleanup time when he is adamant it wasn't him.  He then started crying and poured a container of syrup on the lunch bench next to him which he rightly got in trouble for.  A few days later while he was in the bathroom washing his hands the same child came in and started mocking him so he threw the balled up paper towel he had in his hands at him.

I'm at a loss of what to do since these issues seem to happen only during transitions and unsupervised times.  I've talked to him about what to do, when stuff like this happens. He's working with his therapist on how to handle situations like this, and I've talked to the teacher who is aware of the issue.  [/quote]
