- My son was diagnosed with learning disabilities, ADHD and ODD when he was 11. It was a pretty rough time for him and our family. We went through a lot of therapy, parenting classes, support groups and changing schools over the years following. He...
- As many of you know, we tend to not 'brag' much about our kids as we know at any point in time they could make us 'eat crow'. At least that is how I feel. I have been working with our 15 yr old ADHD/Learning Disability/ODD son for the past 7 years...
- My son's high school had Freshman communication night at the school last week. Freshman students and their parents met in the cafeteria, heard a couple of speakers, then broke up into groups with one teacher, some parents and some students. You...
- I took an on-line parenting class for parents with kids with severe behaviors last year that really helped us with our ODD son. The therapist does live one day conferences throughout the US a few times a year. She's going to be at the North Kansas...
- and still not smoking! I'm taking Chantix and still no horrible side effects. I have smoked on and off for the last 26 years and have quit cold turkey a few times for a good length of time, but I have to say this has by far been the easiest. The...
- So I came to this support group about a year ago and set a quit date. Needless to say I didn't quit at that time. I had a health scare a couple of weeks ago;everything is okay but I decided to quit smoking anyway. My doc prescribed chantix and I...
- My 8th grader comes home from school yesterday and hands me his behavior card. He did well most of the day with the exception of his Social Skills class, which he thinks is BS so I expect that. Across the side of the card in huge, bold, capital...
- I am really struggling with trying to stay out of my son's life to an extent. For so many years I have been in constant contact with teachers, parents and coaches just to be sure he is... I don't know how to explain it, I guess I just wanted to make...
- I can't even tell you where I read it as I have read so much about behavioral challenges in kids but this really makes sense, it's ironic, but true.'The times our kids are at their worst are the times they need us to love them the most.'I am also...
- I have 2 boys. My oldest is 19 has graduated from HS and is now attending Community College, never had any bad issues other than regular teen stuff with him. My 14 yr old has alot of issues,learning disabilities, ADHD and ODD so you can imagine how...
- I had my son's IEP meeting with the school yesterday. He's only been back at this school for about a month so needless to say he hasn't had much time to get into too much trouble. I think it was the first IEP I have had that didn't focus on...
- This is what I call it when my son has a melt down. We were very close to one at Applebees last night. He and I went to my sisters hair salon so he could get a hair cut and I needed a cut and color. My sis put my color on then did his hair while...
- I have been married for over 21 years, we have 2 boys ages 14 & 19. My marriage has never been really strong and has been a lot of work to keep on track. My husband is very high strung and insecure. He actually was finally diagnosed with ADHD today...
- I am hoping to get some sound advice here regarding my son who will be 14 next Saturday. He is in the 8th grade. He has ADHD with limited impulse control and is not on medication. We tried meds but all 8 prescriptions we tried made him worse. He...
- Most of you know the story about my son. He started alternative school this year for 8th grade, has done well so far and will be transferred back to his regular school this coming Monday. The closer we get to this, the more issues he has been...
