[quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks for all the links.  They were most insightful.  Just a few days after our parent/teacher/counselor meeting, I got an email this afternoon regarding an incident today at school.  Suffice it to say, ds was not thinking, or at least not thinking before acting on an impulse.  When his teacher called him on it, as usual, he sort of acted as if he could not remember what happened, and would not give details or his side.  So, can someone tell me, does your child with ADHD do this?  Specifically, do something inappropriate, then either say they did not know what happened, or act as if he is not guilty? (when there are several adult witnesses).  I SWEAR I have taught my children respect.

He actually broke my heart tonight.  He said, "I wish I could just relive my life, because I make so many mistakes and make you mad at me".  He also has been saying quite a lot lately "I feel stupid when you are upset with the way I act".  I have NEVER used that word, and I am sure his teacher has not either.. things just seem to be spiraling out of control.   And, in fact, his teacher said he is doing well with his school work.  But, I will admit, this school year, has really been on a negative roll.

I am not a yeller, but I was very firm with him this afternoon, and he had to miss out on a fun activity with his siblings and dad, and instead of going, stayed home with me...and no screen time.  Dh had time to calm down before seeing him, unlike me, and worked with ds to figure out how he could apologize appropriately tomorrow....[/quote]
