[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have ADHD, and when my son was diagnosed with it at age 6, I chose not to medicate. Instead, I have taught him self-discipline. Here's an example of how far he's come: He's now 11, and yesterday, another boy punched him and he defended himself. After the fight, he told us " The only reason I didn't hit him in the face is because he has glasses, and glasses are expensive. I didn't want his mom and dad to have to pay for a new pair." The fact that he can stop in the middle of a fight and think about the cost of a pair of glasses shows me that I have succeeded in teaching him to control his impulsive behavior. I am proud of him. He'll go far in life. ADHD is not a bad thing. I've never minded having it. It's always come in handy for me. [/quote] How did you teach him discipline?[/quote]
