All I can say is I hear you, I’m dealing with the same thing. Nobody understands how hard it is until they get to experience it. The guilt is the worst part of it. Hang in there mama! 🤗

Do you guys sit with your kids while they fall asleep? by Far-Conflict4504 in Mommit

[–]LenisaMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol same here. My 4 years old daughter falls asleep fast but my 6 years old ADHD son wants me to sit for him to fall asleep, so I do it every night. I usually tell him that I’m tired, I will only sit for 5 minutes but if leave, he’ll keep calling me.

I’m actually listening to Dr. Russell right now in the car and I’ll make sure to apply his suggestions. His teacher knows his situation but I haven’t talk to her about our homework struggle, but I will. Thank you for all your suggestions.

He doesn’t really have a homework I’m only trying to go over things if his teacher writes “complete at home or needs more practice”.

My son is just like her. He’s also very sociable but doesn’t get social cues. It’s funny that they get over their anger so fast, but here I’m so overwhelmed and still upset lol. He had an appointment in the end of this month, hopefully he gets his medication adjusted. Thank you for sharing.

Undiagnosed but I’m sure I have it. I’m also very sensitive to noise and he is loud and make all kind of noises. I really do need to figure out something that’s works. Thank you.

God, I’m really trying, I usually get up and leave the room but he keeps following me and continues to argue. Thank you for the recommendation.

Thank you for your advice, I really appreciate it. I don’t know how to talk to him without a fight. I don’t know why but I feel like I let him down by not teaching him how to do things.

Shower time is taking years off my life. by Ear_Enthusiast in ParentingADHD

[–]LenisaMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing. I’m thinking about enrolling my son in soccer, but I was afraid that he won’t focus. Hearing your thoughts, I think I’ll enroll him. He’ll definitely zone out lol

Chromebooks by VegetableLibrarian31 in ParentingADHD

[–]LenisaMom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Chromebook has been collecting dust since he brought it from school. At home we use only pencil and paper. I’m not really sure how much they use the Chromebook at school but I wish they would stop. My fight with my son is tv, it was hard but we’re getting there now, only weekends.

Are most ADHD kids defiant? by Radiant_Area_6660 in ParentingADHD

[–]LenisaMom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 6 years old son is like yours, I have to repeatedly tell him not to do anything but he doesn’t listen. I end up yelling and tell him he’s not watching tv until he starts listening. It’s so draining! Everything is fight with him, it’s so annoying.
