[quote=Anonymous]ADHD can definitely manifest as a lack of emotional regulation. My kid wasn't a hitter, but his emotional control is off for his age and always was. However, he can read for hours and is doing great with distance learning. His ADHD is definitely more of the heightened emotionality and impulsive reactions variety. My son is almost 10 now, but it's taken me this long, and a significant amount of therapy to figure out how to discipline him effectively. I did read Kazdin when he was 5, and it was helpful, but a therapist is a good idea here. You can start with a therapist to help you parent differently which will work much better than telehealth with a kid that age. So no judgment OP, kids like yours require a highly structured approach. It's not like disciplining a typical child. The good news is that I've got this down now so my younger kid (soon to be kids) are growing up with much stricter expectations and this should pay dividends in the future! [/quote]
