Omg my son is 6years old and he has adhd.but he had it since he was 3.I take him to mental health they've changed his medicine so many times. And the one he on now doesn't work at all he also pee to bed.he act out in school it's like nothing bothers him at all one bit. He loves his little brother which is two years old (they also said he has adhd to bring him back when he 3)but when they get around each other it's like whoa they play so rough I be scared.they gave me thus pamphlet about coping with kids with adhd.it gave pointers but it didn't say what to do if my child messing in his underwear,when he jumping up in down like he a frog or some just doing all types of things. Now my mom say I was just like him.she say I have obedience defiance disorder (odd)but she couldn't do nun about it when I was young cause when she tried to take me to mental health I jump out the vehicle and ran but she wasn't gonna chase me.and way I started going to mental health in 2008so its for depression a,low self-esteem,and suicide issues.but neway I want my kids to be better then me but I feel as if my kids is dealing with these issues because of me and I don't know how to cope with it some of you mylotters give me your heart to heart real advice because I need help with my son

Your son is 6, and he has adhd, why take him to mental health, when ADHD is not a mental health issue. Was he diagnosed with ADHD and the recommendation is bring him to the mental health? Why not developmental pediatrician where he can be tested and checked fully, so proper intervention can still be done. Your child is still so young and there are lots of things he can still be trained. There are several interventions that can be done and they can teach you on how to do it on your own, if you will bring your child to the proper agency. Try to check this organization, they might be able to help you. http://help4adhd.org/ , they can fully diagnose your son and give the proper treatment for him. They are conducting webinar, you don't need to go to a certain place you can have it at your home in your computer and internet. Another organization that can help you is this http://chesapeakeadd.com/. I know that you are a strong person and you can handle this situation. Thanks for sharing this.

If only there is a nearest place where you can bring your son except the mental health. I hope that this mental health has a section for special children. they are very much different case in mental issues. they are not mental cases, that's what I am scared of actually for them to be included as mental case patient when they are NOT. There are a lot ADHD people who succeed in life, in the person of Whoopi Goldberg, Robin Williams, Abraham Lincoln, Einstein, Jim Carey. It's never too late for your son, he is still so young.

I knew some people who has a disorder like that. Their dad has it and so the two little boys had it too. Poor mom they have, she has to deal with her three boys extremes.
But I guess they're all okay now, the meds their doctor prescribed the really helps. Maybe you go for another doctor and see what happens.
I hope you'll get better soon and those pills your taking would really do you good.

I think that first of all, stop blaming yourself for being the cause of their condition. You didn't ask to have odd and neither did you want your kids have adhd. So what you can do is to be supportive to both of them and make yourself strong in dealing with your kids. My husband's nephew also had adhd when he was young, and went into treatment with the prescribed medicines. Now her is 14 years old and he is okay. I know that it is hard to deal with the situation, but you can only do so much, right? Just be brave enough to take up that challenge. Don't worry, everything will be alright in due time.

I'm so sorry to hear that your sons are having a lot of issues that you are trying to cope with. I can only imagine what you are going through. My daughter doesn't have adhd as far as we know. But she really is a handful. At times I feel stressed out because of the way she acts. Perhaps you could ask his personal doctor how to help with him messing the bed. There are so also those covers for beds to keep the bed protected. You could buy him those night time pulls for him to wear in the evening.
That would prevent you from having to clean up the underwear or from having to throw them away. I hope that you are able to find a support system and more suggestions. Dealing with things like that I'm sure can be overwhelming.

It's really hard and sometimes with them being so young you can't really tell that they have adhd because you naturally assume they just being kids it's nothing major when the whole time they need to be seeing a doctor.I'm just hoping my kids grow out of it
