We used to have more traditional punishments of taking away privileges and toys but were told not to do that to a child with ADHD. The consequence needs to be related to the behavior. Taking away my attention seems to be the most natural consequence. But I see that I should have posted in the SN forum. You guys are brutal.[/quote]

Op as someone who has worked with ADHD, and spectrum children I wasn't to say that most people do not understand what you are going through  I like that you are trying positive discipline too.

With that said be aware that PD does not excuse bad behaviors, nor should you ignore it. Taking away your attention is a natural consequence, but so is going home from the pool.

When DS is calm, talk to him about how name calling really bothers you. Ask him to change the wording to silly mommy, or sweet mommy. Then before you go on an outing tell him that you know he will be able to remember to use kinder words, and that your counting on him to be a great, and helpful kid.

If he acts up, you say mommy is pretty upset that you were not able to use your nice words, I am ready to go home now, and you leave with him. Rinse repeat.

Natural consequence : you are upset and don't want to stay out with home anymore. He is too young to stay by himself so everyone goes home. [/quote]
