What do you do?

Question

My 7 year old child has adhd and he assults me and has huge ammounts of anger, when i tell him no he slambs doors and throws things

Answer 1

maybe he is actually oppositional defiant.Maybe hs needs hi meds adjusted Have him reevaluated. get him into counseling. Get ahead of the problem before it gets the better of you and your family

Answer 2

I would:
* Get into a routine and stick to it (try to include fun times and laughter).
* Set up a punching bag or get my child playing a sport.
* Be consistent with discipline and offer rewards where appropriate.
* Use positive language, keep directions short, maintain calm.
* Agree on consequences for behaviour together.

It is also important to show love and respect. You don't have to be too worried, really about this issue and there's no medication needed at all in this case. Instead you can encourage your 7-year-old to use toys to represent things that are bothering them. Dolls, action figures, cars, balls, and even blocks can all be used to represent people, objects and everyday situations that may be very hard for your child to put into words.

You might feel bad/ sad because of your child's behaviour, but things change. Try the above ideas and hopefully they work...All the best!

Answer 3

Well, If you dont believe in giving your child pills then why not make up a reward chart. It worked for my niece. She used to have loads of anger she would even throw objects until I made a reward chart. Everytime she does something good she gets 1 star and at the end of the week she gets a prize. Now shes a little angel :D It worked for us . What have you got to loose

Answer 4

Get him to find a safe release for his anger anything he will enjoy and that will not damage or hurt anything or one. Try music (really loud so he screams the words), a punching bag something he can take his anger out on. My sister has ADHD and she just locks herself in the room and screams to a song then calms down. Best of luck i know it can be hard but he needs your support and love to see him through.

Answer 5

Wait for some minutes and when you see that the child is already calm. Try to ask why and what happen. Assure the child that you are listening and will do something to what will the child told you. After talking all the things that the child threw you and the child fix it.

Answer 6

Look into the Feingold diet, vitamin B supplements and omega 3 supplements. Once you look at those items in relation to ADHD and behavior, you will be amazed with how those things take part in ADHD and behavior.

Answer 7

Adjust his diet and along with disciplining his bad behaviours, acknowledge his good ones as well. Take out all (or most) sugary foods, processed foods, and high carbohydrate foods (carbohydrates turn into sugar). This will help him and his behaviour. I have ADD, and I barely eat sugars and processed foods. I have better anger control and less moods swings now that I have cut those from my diet.

Answer 8

you talk to your ADHD specialist (if he is not at one then go to one) you cahnge his diet and if the specialist thinks it is nessisary then you medicate. Do a parenting course to learn to deal with his misbehaviour effectivally and read this book
Fed up. Here is a link. It helps to deal with diet and ADHD

Answer 9

is he medicated? if not you may want to look into it. especially if you've tried everything else. take care of this now. don't wait thinking it'll get better. it won't. by the time my son was 16 i had to have him arrested on assault charges against me and his brother.
have him see a child psychologist to help him figure out why he's so angry.

Answer 10

Let him knw your in control! and tel him with a firm voice NO its rong stop it now and if he doesnt respond a smach on the but helps
