[quote=Anonymous]My ADHD-I child is a few years older than yours so BTDT. For us the key was a combination of gentle coaching and also medication to address the ADHD impulsiveness. The coaching and social skills classes only go so far. He's smart and in a class or conversation, could always explain the "right" behavior or choice. However, until the impulsiveness was controlled via medication, we were setting him up to fail. Once on the medication, he had time to think before saying/doing and is now less likely to turn people off. In hindsight, we regret having resisted medication for so long. He's more successful socially now.[/quote]
