Jennifer: I can only imagine that you feel like you're going insane if everyone around you acting other than what yoy'd want. I only have one with ADHD and it...
Kirk: Thanks!!! Yes, I can definitely see that he needs to be involved (as does his sister) in picking out the house we move to and all the issues associated...
You are in my prayers! So is your DS. I know it has to be so difficult to deal with this. But, you are doing the best you can as his parent. No more can be...
Boy, Heidi . . . you hit the nail on the head with triggers for bad days in MY house!! Even if DH and I have a disagreement, it is never in front of the kids,...
I would ask him that question in writing, "What is going on with the 504 plans?" I would not hesitate to make it clear that his is what you feel your child...

Hilary: Don't kid yourself about puberty! My DD is also 11 and she is DEFINITELY on the path!!! I guess the "MEAN GIRL" thing is more annoying than the...
I agree with this. The hormone thing can start way before the actual periods. My daughter is only 8 and I swear one week out of every month she is a cranky...
My oldest is like that too and my Mom said I was the same way. I think in my son's case it's comes from wanting peace and order and not chaos. He can't stand...
I think kids can have cycles but try to find common denominators to the swings too. Like certain foods (allergies can trigger bad behaviors), hanging with...
I can only speak for myself. It's not that I feel I can not handle my son. But what gets difficult and frustrating is mostly when it comes to the outside...
Us too!!! And also when my dh travels. Things are different, routines are messed up and while Dad is often gone a lot even when he's in town, things are still...

It is sooo comforting hearing that I am not alone in trying to figure out the mood shifts of my daughter. I just took her off all of her meds (with the...
My daughter will be 8 in April and I see it already..the cycle that is. I told my dh I'm going to start tracking it so we'll be prepared!!! Michele From:...
Oh my dear, I can assure you, nothing can prepare you!!! LOL I am slowly learning that with my "normal" 11 yo DD. UGH!!! Barb Mom to 2 in IL ... From: McGraw...
Sometimes my son definitely tries to create adversity. Ever since he was 3 years old he has said or done things to try to get a strong reaction of some sort...
Tracy: As ironic as it may sound, maybe DD is not used to handling good news!! My DS is like that sometimes. So, then he does something "bad" for negative...
Could also just be a kid. ALL my kids do that to an extent. I think it's a cry for attention with my kids. It's my cue they need some time with Mom or Dad if...
