[quote=Anonymous]Ok, I really think the key here is 1) finding a better preschool option (preferably 5 days) that will be appropriate for ADHd kids (a Maddux type), and 2) start finding a good doc who is an expert in meds for preschool aged kids. These are going to be your game changers.

While you are at home, start trying to use what works to your advantage more. So he will do anything for tv? Up the ante for tv use. If he wants to watch a show, he needs to do X first. X might mean doing a less preferred activity for a specified time (play with play do without interrupting mommy for 10 minutes). Start with the bar way low for him to guarantee success and slowly raise it. If ten minutes of solo play is too much then start with 5 minutes for 10 minutes of tv. Then again, up the expectations. Use the tv to get the behavior you want to see. It's a moving target so you increase expected behavior slowly over time. My son will do anything for iPad. So we use it to help him learn how to do things that come less naturally to him. It works very well.
