How do you meet parents of difficult toddlers?

Question

I have had so many issues with my son. I know other people do too. Where are they? They certainly aren't at story time at the library!
My son is really defiant, strong-willed, extremely curious, hyper, and smart. Great for him but tough for me!

Answer 1

How old is he? If he is 2, then he is acting normal. Its the other kids at story time in the library that aren't normal.
Try changing his diet, take out the red dye, processed sugar.
But don't curb his curiousity, channel his hyperactivity into productive play. When he starts school, around age 6, have him tested for ADHD, but don't let anyone convince you medication is the only solution.

Yes, my son, has ADHD, is on medication, but since his sister has ADD, she is 20 now, I knew the symptoms to look for.

It is difficult to meet parents, check your local library for meetings for parents with children of ADD or ADHD.

Answer 2

If you take your son to a daycare the provider may know of some classes that are offered for learning how to combat such behaviors, and or support groups, or specialists that can give you helpful hints. As a single mother of 5 children (2 with ADHD- not on meds!) and a former preschool teacher of over 6 years, I can tell you that there are answers out there.

Soon he will grow into a smart young boy. Have patience. I know a lady whose son was so hyper that she used to tie his hands and legs and put him in the bed while she cooked. You will find it tough I agree but some kids are impossible. Be proud of your kid.

i think of what you're doing is stable, you will desire to diminish ties along with her. regrettably that's what happens from time to time once you attempt to be advantageous and enable issues slide interior the initiating, it may end with harm emotions on the two aspects. in spite of the undeniable fact that, from what you have defined, it seems you have accompanied by on your section and that i does no longer difficulty approximately any criminal matters or threats coming from her. i might in spite of the undeniable fact that be careful with the undeniable fact that she is familiar with the place you reside and likewise the undeniable fact that she seems a splash mentally volatile (and if no longer mentally volatile it somewhat is particularly obvious she's no longer coping with the top results of you're agreements). which could be a ability nightmare. If something maintains once you intense touch along with her alongside with visits, power-via's, or undesirable presents, i might maximum easily get an order of protection or restraining order against her no longer basically for your self and your husband yet for the baby besides.
