I am about to have a nervous breakdown!! Please help!! My son has been diagnosed with ADD by a psychiatrist. (no brain scan or anything else has been done). He is not hyperactive but does have concentration and attention problems. He also shows signs of anger problems. I have to tell him to do things several times. Homework is like WWIII. I have to literally go over every single problem with him. He is very smart and knows the answers, but I have to read the problem to him, tell him to "think about what you are being asked", and walk him through the whole thing. If he does his homework on his own, I have to check it and he has to make corrections like 8 times. We are usually up until 11:00 at night correcting his paper. I am so frustrated. Today the teacher called from school and said he got up and walked out of class 3 times today, punched a wall and hollared at her. I have taken everything away. I have spanked. I have sat down and had a heart to heart talk. nothing is working.
