[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry that anyone has made you feel like ADHD is a dirty word, but your children don’t have that diagnosis, so it doesn’t apply to them. I’m merely suggesting that some of the strategies recommended for children with ADHD would probably be helpful. My dd is fearful of getting hurt, so she doesn’t do risky things, but she’s incredibly messy, impulsive, and has a short attention span for anything that doesn’t interest her. She also can’t regulate her emotions and has outbursts that are not proportional to whatever has upset her. Living with her is hard at times, but it’s gotten so much better over the years as she has matured. One thing that helped me to contain the chaos was to separate my kids (they’re twins) whenever the combination of the two of them was too much. They’re calmer and quieter when they’re not feeding off each other’s energy. Maybe set up obstacle courses in 2 rooms and they have to switch rooms from one turn to the next.[/quote]
