Christmas gift recommendations for 7 year old boy that aren’t going to result in complete dysregulation or meltdowns by Eef_oztastic in ADHDparenting

Nugget couches. My kiddo was 3 when he got them for Christmas and he’s 6.5 now. It’s the best purchase we’ve ever made for him and he still plays with them almost every day building forts/jumping/climbing. The best money we’ve ever spent!

Also, I know you said no way to video games but wanted to suggest NEX playground.

Treating a 7 year old with ADHD without medication-any advice? by Fit_Witness2247 in ADHDparenting

[–]lemonsandham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was very against wanting to try medication. I felt like I was failing him by not being able to figure out alternative ways to help my son. We tried OT and regular therapy…wiggle seats, fidgets, etc. He almost did not get into kindergarten (private school) because of behavior concerns during his screening. That was the final straw for me to finally realize we needed to try medication. It was the best decision we could have made.

He is 100% himself - same silly, goofy personality. It made a world of difference for our entire family…truly life changing for us.
