spitting

Okay it is the end of the day and my grandson only had 3 time outs today. He did better...much better says the teacher. Better on the bus too. But... he spat on another teachers door after p.e. walking back to his room. Where does he get that? I do not understand it nor will I tolerate spitting. My daugther who is 20 now did some spitting for a while too. Is this a ADD thing or what? I think it is just horrible behavior. At any rate things are looking up. Praise the Lord for that! and thanks to all here who help

Nona1, I don't know, but I tell you I feel exactly the same way. Xavier, went through a phase where he did that alot, especially if he got angry. It is horrible and I 'm sure it will pass.

Im AN ADULT ADD er..and although I wasnt diagnosed as a kid Im 46 now,..because they didnt know what the heck it was then..I remember going through spitting phases,..I think it must be a repitition compulsion thing associated with ADD

My son with ADHD does it too. I couldnt count the times I have been spat on by him when he is having a moment.
He still does it occasionally but I must admit, he now knows not to aim at me!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
