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

Hi Barbara,
Well I'm not old and not wiser yet, but do have three boys.
My youngest is 8 too. I'm lucky my sons do not have adhd or add. Some of what your experiencing is normal behavior and some well the other. Treat him no differently, and stick with your parenting. My oldest is 16 and my middle one is 12 turning 13 soon. My son Micheal who is 12 can display at times out spoken words that are hurtful or just down right mean. He has gotten better over the last 3 years. I did have him tested and no problems...soo he has seen his room quite a bit and lots of time outs. It has worked. Well you know having all boys or just a house full of kids is challenging at times. Okay if you really feel it's is adhd, give him a chance to go, but maybe he could explain why he feels he should be able to go. I know this could be difficult for him, but if doesn't accomplish it this is grounds for him not to attend, because you know then he can't handle it right now. The other is just like I said before stick to your gut parenting and do what you feel is right. Barbara your a great mom, Hang in there rough times can get better. (((HUGS))))
