You know, I asked this exact same question too!
I really want to bash him on the head and make him shut up but I cant really do anything about it. So I resolve to writing my feelings down on paper. Yet still, I cant concentrate and get irritated by his constant shouts.
But I have things that run on my head on how i could make him shut up.
a. bribe him. I know this is a bad thing to do but desperate times call for desperate measures. You dont have to spoil him, though. That will only make things worse.
b. scare him. He is only 7, he may be too naive. I am sure there are things he is scared of.
i tried confronting my brother and he just laughs. I tried physical spanking him but this does not work, because he BEAT me in return.
Currently, I am trying out other ideas I just dont have the time to do so. : ) good luck!

If your parents are looking for ideas, then you could suggest they read a book called, "Allergies and the Hyperactive Child", by Dr. Doris Rapp. The book is available on used booksites, and talks about how foods and other things might be affecting your brother. It might be a lot of help for your parents, and for your brother. This is a very useful book. Hope this helps. See what they think.
To keep him busy - well, what does he like. Maybe you could ask him. Would outdoor activity wear him out? Does he like any sports or activities? Does he like to do any projects, even projects helping around the house? Talk to your mom, and see if she has any ideas of what you can do with him, too. Even though she is sick, maybe she would have some ideas. Even though he is ADHD, sometimes a book about something the person is REALLY interested in can help. Does he like Legos?

My little brother is also seven and is ADHD. My older brother and I are a lot older than he is and so he doesn't really have anyone that he can play with. Every now and then offer to do something with him that you think he would like, let him know that you still love him and care about him and he will probably begin to calm down on his own. I hope the best to you and him.

I had the same problem with my little brother. I would just do my best to stay out of his way. As he got older he bacame violent and I would get blaimed for his stuff. Hopefully your dad will get him some help other than meds, like a support group for both of them. I know this is had for you. Just try not to resent him, my brother and I still don't have a good relationship, and it all stems from this kinda stuff. Good Luck.

hun, this is a problem that only your parents can do anything about...your brother has mental issues that causes his behavior and they ar working with him...I know it is frustrating, but the best thing you can do, is just be the good kid of the family...so that your parents can focus on trying to help your brother learn what is right and wrong...

i understand the type you experience. My cousin replaced into the comparable way. He could yell, scream, hit, thieve, lie and all decrease than the age of 5. that's what I did, and it particularly is particularly helpful to objective it. do no longer hear to what your mothers and fathers say. you may't be mom, yet you're nevertheless the huge sib. you have some style of impression in his existence. you're able to desire to commence by capacity of volunteering to exhibit screen him. once you're with him, lay down the regulation. do no longer cave, do no longer yell, do no longer lose your endurance. whilst he gets dissatisfied over something, you're able to desire to consult with him approximately why he feels that way....then clarify why he sees issues incorrect. If he throws tantrums, enable him play them out, do merely no longer react. in case you provide any style of reaction to his undesirable habit, he will see this is working. yet in any different case to help is to be a large function sort. stick to college, activities, paintings...notwithstanding it particularly is you do to be a solid guy or woman, and coach him that it particularly is the thank you to be. wish this helps ;)

Spank him. People say it's bad and "traumatizing" [rolls eyes] but if your parents don't take control and -really- do something about his behavior, then I think you should help them. Or talk to them about a different form of punishment. Grounding is only going to get them so far before he just brushes it off as nothing.
