[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok so if your child had Dcd and ADHD did you see a decrease in sensory seeking when you started medication? I need some hope here posters! [/quote]

My kid has both and isn't/wasn't even close the sensory seeker that yours is.  I think some of the impulsiveness like touching everything may improve some with age.  But I do have friends who's kids with ADHD (even medicated) would chew their shirts, lick random stuff, and were essentially perpetual motion machines.

Depending on how intrusive the behaviors are--like if you go to the movie theater or a restaurant or some other pubic place is he going to roll around on the ground?  If this is the case, you might want to try behavioral therapy for a few sessions to help him re-direct the behavior.[/quote]

As a pad, it's not helpful to respond and say my child's issues are much more mild. It just isn't. Stop doing this, everyone on here. It adds zero other than maybe makes you feel good? which is odd. Quell the urge. [/quote]

Why exactly are your panties in a twist?  My kid has plenty of issues, sensory seeking isn't one of them.  It's not a beauty contest.  From what the OP described the stamping when her kid's excited probably has minimal intrusion.  I do have a friend whose kid had ADHD would roll all over the floor at birthday parties and such.  Yeah, at 4 it becomes a little less socially acceptable.  Behavioral therapy can help redirect behavior.  I found it helpful for my kid.

I find these whiny posts with "just stop" annoying.  It makes you sound like a condescending control freak.[/quote]
