Hi all, was wondering if anyone could give me a bit of advice or support. I'm just at a loss as what to do with Ollie, he's 6 and was diagnosed with ADHD in June, though its solmething we have always strongly suspected. I just don't know how to discipline him, I'm at my wits end I know that the majority of the time he can't help it, but he still needs to learn his behaviour isn't acceptable. His 10 year old sister can't stand being anywhere near him and has asked to move out. His baby sister is going to grow up thinking its a 'normal' way to behave. What ever I try he just laughs or refuses to co-operate. I've really been on the verge of smacking him today (school been closed due to weather), something I have never ever done. Its exhausting, frustrating and ...well, not a very enjoyable experience, looking after him atm. I feel like a failure
He can be such a loving little boy sometimes, and then I feel bad and guilty about 'moaning' about him. I do love him to bits, but some days, a break would be nice.
