Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: HELP!! Need advice from older wiser moms.

BarbaraS,
I know exactly what you are dealing with, my daughter has ADD not the ADHD but same thing only she is not hyper.
We had to do the same things you are doing right now and they never seem to do a darn thing either. I do know that boys and girls act differently with ADD or ADHD. Then again don't we all! My daughter was on Ritalin and after so long it just did not do anything for her she acted the same regardless.Maybe ALex needs his meds changed like you said then again maybe he's just looking for attention. I noticed on your info Alex is the middle child so is my daughter middle children tend to have that middle child syndrome, The older one is more responsible the younger gets more attention because they are the younger one the middle one has to fight to get the attention they want or need ( or at least they think they do). Also I know that some of ADD/ADHD kids also have under lying issues as such as depression. My daughter is now almost 20 she still does wacky things and she does not to be alone all day.
She still wants to be the center of attention.
All and all she is ok she turned out good..
Just be patient and yes I know easier said than done...
I hope this helps
Good luck strap in your seat belt and enjoy the ride because it definitly won't be dull...
Terry
