Its been weeks since we found out that our son has this ADHD, We have him diagnosed and yes he has this disorder. Our problem now is the fact that its our first time to have this kind of situation, we are doomed how we should take care of him to become better. I really need help on what are do's and dont's that I should do. I hope someone can help me here especially those parents who have also child with ADHD. I'm also concern if what food should I serve him. Thanks for reading and hoping for your response.

I am in a similar situation, in that my son has it & is 6 & his behaviour is very disruptive & destructive & despite being given advice on how to manage it all (warnings then naughty step, taking a toy from him if he continues to destroy it or destroy something else with it, distracting away from negative behaviours to more positive & maybe creative behaviours & ignoring negative behaviours & praising the good behaviours so he gets the idea that I want more of the good behaviours from him) - all this is to no avail as he constantly ignores me when being asked/told repeatedly on numerous occcasions not to do something or to do X thing instead, laughs about being told off & some consequences given & on the other hand is very aggressive when receiving some discipline/consequences for negative behaviours but it does not stop him from regularly repeating them! I know this isn't an answer to your struggles/plight but I hope if nothing else it's just to know that you're not the only one in this challenging situation : there are things to try to manage/correct behaviours with, even if they haven't worked for my child. Reward charts & money in a jar for positive behaviours did work for my son for a short time but persistence & consistency I think may be very key in managing/dealing with challenging behaviours.
