[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child had some issues with hitting/pushing. One of the things we did was that there was always a consequence - either a time out, grounding, or no TV/computer. [b]ADHD kids have trouble controlling their impulses, but they CAN do it. [/b] Also some doctors will medicate at age 5 even though American Associates of Pediatrics recommends not to medicate until age 6.[/quote] When my son was in preschool and before meds, he was entirely unable to control his impulses. hitting was like a tic reaction. When he started meds, the hitting stopped -- even in frustration and anger. He'll raise his hand like he's angry and wants to hit, and stop himself. He was doing that the day he started meds. As in: he already knew the rules/consequences, but literally could not stop himself before meds. Consequences for a 3 year old adhd don't work. [/quote]
