Son feels isolated, different, is argumentative with friends and family
by GatorFan15712, Nov 08, 2009 07:50PM
My 12 yr old son, who has been disagnosed for five years as ADHD (without hyperness) is increasingly cynical with us (mom and dad), doesn't listen well, fails to accomplish ordinary, routine tasks at home day in adn day out, and is generally not a fun person to be around. We are struggling to maintain constructive conversation when he only appears to respond to being disciplined (grounding, restriction from fun activities). Can you recommend some good resources to increase our ability to help him manage his behavior and develop self management skills?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Yes. Read Lynn Clark's book SOS Help for Parents. It is straightforward and practical and I imagine you will find it to be useful.
