11 Year old

by LAS2008, Mar 18, 2008 10:02AM
Hi. I have an 11 year old boy also who was diagnosed wtih ADD - he does wear the patch everyday for school and it does seem to help.  His biggest issue in school is talking and sitting still and forgetting to turn in his homework - so I have a big remind on his binder for him.  But the last two report cards his grades seem lower than normal.  The comments said missing homework although I saw the homework in his binder, he just didn't turn it in.  We have gone through a phase of him telling me no when I ask him to do something or he'll say that i don't like him or that i hate him.  I re-married in 05 and had a another child in 06 and he tells everyone and even says to me how much he loves having a little brother.  My 11 year old can be so thoughtful and has such a huge heart and can be so loving - but when he starts the telling me no or not doing what I ask and I have to go in there and tell him again and then tell him I'm not playing and then sometimes I have to raise my voice and then he gets upset because I am "yelling" at him and then sometimes it's just so chaotic.  

My husband and I get into arguments all of the time about my son - which I'm not sure how much my husband really likes him - he has a 22 year old that does not wrong - that sort of thing - and he's tired of me and my 11 year old going through the stuff like i mentioned above -


This discussion is related to 11 year old boy sleeping w/ his mother ? wetting bed?.

Forgetting to turn things in and forgetting to do things is part of ADD. The reminder board is good. Having the teachers work with him -- setting up where they have ways to remind him too-- will help.

But here is what is more concerning. Your child has some negative behavior-- and then you mention that you have a new husband, a new baby, and that your husband does not like him? Is tired of you and your son?  Ummm-- that sounds like major family issues to me, and I don't know how a child is supposed to react in this situation other than occasionally being mouthy. I think your family needs counseling so that you can all figure out how to get along with eachother and respect eachother.
