You need to give him supportive care and help with the normal household activities and make him feel at home you can't control your child, but you can control your own actions. Encourage your child when they make progress and acknowledge achievements and efforts.
When possible, try to focus on your child's intentions, rather than what they actually do. Stop trying to “parent” your child.

Adhd is a disorder that makes it difficult for a person to pay attention and control impulsive behaviours. He or she may also be restless and almost constantly active. Adhd is not just a childhood disorder. Although the symptoms of adhd begin in childhood, adhd can continue through adolescence and adulthood.

I was diagnosed with severe ADHD recently & prescribed with ritalin by the doctor. Usually, I count a number of letters a word when I read something & I stopped driving long before because I can't focus plus I can't speak spontaneously. I started by taking 4 tablets of inspiral ir 5 mg on the first day & something unexpected happened. After a couple of hours I rapidly felt like I was a superhuman. My concentration boosted abnormally & I begun to speak like a most experienced stage speaker. The whole world seemed positive & the depression zeroed. I felt this effect for about 4 hours & it rapidly ward off as it was immediate release dose. The next day with same optimism I took 2 tablets of inspiral sr 20 mg at once hoping that it will last for a day as it is a sustained release version. But the results were drastic. I'm depressed like hell. I felt like someone was squeezing my eyes out & my head felt so heavy. I had mild anxiety & absolutely out of the mood to do nothing but to lie down. I read a passage about 10 times to get the meaning because my concentration & motivation was down. It was so irritating, restless & jittery. Felt terrible being dizzy all day but was better than the situation without medications my doctor is off for a couple of months & what should I do now? What must be the reason for the change of effects between an immediate release & sustained release of the same medication? What would you suggest me to do? Inspiral is the perfect drug as I feel but the dosage & type of drug release brings in the problems. Have my brain built a tolerance to the drug all in one day? I want the good effects of the medication for at least 9 hours & how would you suggest me to alter the dosage? Please help me with this. Thanks in advance with hope!

If your psychiatrist is out of town you may be able to consult online, however there are many other ways in which your problem of attention deficits as well as difficulties with depression can be solved. I strongly advice you to consult your previous doctor since the dosages may need to be up-titrated more slowly and in the mea...more

hi,

your daughter is 7 yrs old . assuming that she is more than 20 kgs we have to calculate the dosage. in your query it is mentioned as hypertension , but i think it is hyperactivity .

risperidone is generally safe in children. the dosage you mentioned is from drops . it is better to give tablet in 7 yrs of age . we have to start from lower dose (0.5 mg ) and we should increase gradually to reach the desired goal.

the common side effect will be sleepiness. so you c...more

None of these medicines is helpful for maximized focus & comprehensive efficiency for 2-3 hours. If you take adderal without clear cut indication for its use the side effects will be grave. If a normal person takes it the concentration will fly around and go haphazard.
