[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, sounds like my ADHD kid. We would go for a walk and he literally would spin, walk backwards, skip, etc. Without meds he literally is unable to just go for a walk and being stern doesn't help, he can't help himself. He tries so hard to do the right thing or follow the norms or whatever he just isn't wired that way. Try giving him a fidget spinner/rubik's cube/etc so he has something to fiddle with--it helps my son a lot. He says it calms him but also gives him something to do with his hands. But meds made the biggest difference for us (my son is now nine and started meds about six months ago). [/quote]
