My husband and I seriously think that his 6 year old son has ADD/ADHD. We are trying EVERYTHING to figure out house rules that can also apply to him. Everytime we ask him questions like "Why did you do this?" or "Why are you running in the house?" or "Did you hit your sister?", his answers are "I don't know" but he also cries when he answers. BUT, he knows that the rule in the house is no running, no hitting and other things. He can tell me every single rule that we have here. If we ask him, "Did you turn off your light?" he'll look right at you and say "NO". He runs into things alot, because he doesn't seem to pay attention to what he is doing. He lies alot, he had started stealing, he cries and whines over EVERYTHING. My husband said hi to him the other day when he came home from work, and his son started crying. He wasn't in trouble or anything. I need to know how to discipline my 7 yr. old daughter and step-son equally fair without being harder on one and not the other.
