[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sympathize.  Substitute video games for pot and I have the same story.  It's been fairly well-established (and my experience with DS bears out) that consequences do not work for self-soothing actions in ADHD children.  Nothing you can take away would matter.  You must substitute.  My son was happy to begin a treatment program for young adults, it's intensive small group therapy, every day.  He is working hard to deal with it.  No easy path.

My kid would never willingly go to daily treatment.  How old is he and what’s the substitute [/quote]

The child himself must find the substitute.  
My son in group therapy has not found the substitute yet but the group therapy is serving as that for now during the day.  Because he wants to change, it gets him out of bed in the morning.  He discovered he can't get to therapy if he games until 2 or 3AM.  
I recommend finding a way to believe in him and his ability to turn this around if and when he decides he wants to.[/quote]
