[quote=Anonymous]DS7 has recently (in the last several months) had trouble controlling his behavior at home.  Jumping all over the furniture, literally climbing the walls, hanging off the railings, not being able to focus on a few pages of math or read for very long (which he easily and willingly did last year).  When we tell him to stop or try to redirect him, he doesn't seem able to do it even with potential consequences or rewards on the line.  Also, he wanders off in between bites of a meal.  He's never had trouble staying on task at school and is doing fine at camp (although it's mostly outdoors and pretty active and more loosely structured).

Does a relatively sudden onset of this type of behavior ring any bells or has your ADHD kid always displayed some of these symptoms?  Just trying to get a sense of whether we should explore this behavior with the ped or some other doctor or if it's just typical 7 yo behavior (our older DD never had these issues).  I'm planning to see how the start of the school year goes before doing anything regardless but it would be helpful to hear others' experiences with this type of behavior.  TIA[/quote]
