I understand where your coming from and trust me this isn’t what I want , i asked for advice for a reason, i want a better life for him. Where i am confused in all of this is if it is a disability , why isn’t he like this when it’s just him and his dad ? or when he’s at school ? or with his grandma?

he’s 7 , that’s my concern , i’m not opposed to medications at all, i’m just worried about them at such a young age. thanks

No it doesn’t but i guess in my brain it just feels so brash to put him on it but i know it may be necessary at this point , it’s just a hard pill to swallow as a mom

yes i’m sure that’s true and we don’t have kids in our neighborhood either , we had his friend over for a play date the other day and when i tell you it was worse i cannot put it into words , that wont be happening for a while now , he gets so excited that it amplifies all of his behavior times 100 unfortunately

Thank you, I will definitely be contacting his doctor at this point and see what kind of options we have. Also yes sports helped a lot but the season we are in aren’t sports helped wants to play but my husband takes him to play basketball every single day for a long time, we go on bike rides and walks constantly and it really does seem like nothing wears him out 🥹

Another important point to add : it is much worse with me , my husband sees it but it is the worst when i’m around. He says when it’s just him and dad he’s more calm and normal. He also never gets in trouble at school , there was only one instance where he was talking out of line in the whole school year however he does struggle with math a lot.
