I've been told that my son is in the high range when tested for ADHD, and he does seem to fit the bill with regards to the symptoms, so I've been looking into it. I understand that children who have ADHD take longer to understand things and can't differentiaite what is and isn't unacceptable at times, and so they can be wrongly labelled 'naughty'. I've tried to find out information about treatments and therapy, but there is little to be found. I'd like to know how to go about getting my son to understand his unacceptable behaviour. The usual discipline techniques do not seem to register with my son at all. I've tried time out on the step, sending him to bed, taking away toys, positive reinforcement with a star and treat system, the works! But nothing seems to work with him. What techniques should I use to get through to him with regards to discipline? I've read that telling off a child with ADHD will make things worse, so what should I do? It's so hard getting through to him.
