right now i feel like exploding at my ds.what the hell is wrong with him?

my ds who is 5 is now in year 1 but is one of the younger ones in the year.

ever since he went back in september he has been a little sh*t to put it politely.he wont behave at home half the time, ignores what i ask him.if i tell him not to do something he does it anyway.

his teacher has told me his behaviour has gone downhill and has indirectly suggested he's got adhd or something like that.

he's always had alot of energy but lately he's driving me insane.its like ive got two children.

he will sit still and listen to things that interest him, watch films, play with toys and build things and role play etc.he will colour, draw,write and read.his teacher says he's got no attention and wont take turns but i know he does, he just gets bored easily.she even said that he had the same problem in reception but no-one ever said anything to me!

i watch what he eats, he doesnt have artificial colourings etc or fizzy drink.ive even started him on omega 3 supplements but ive now found out that they've got E219 in sodium methyl hydroxybenzoate in them and that can send some hyper! doesnt say that on the box does it! i thought the idea of them was to help them calm down etc!

he's good as gold and so loving and affectionate and caring one minute and just cant do as he's told for one second the next.

i just dont know what on earth to try next.ive talked to him to try to find out why he is naughty but he doesnt know.he knows that he should be good and understands that being naughty isnt good and that he's rewarded aot more for being good.

he's just changed so much lately & i dont know how to change him back.

ive now got the added worry that he had got tonsillitis.e's feeling crap with high temp,headache,aches & white spot on red tonsills!

taking him to doctors tomorrow.he hadurine infection last week so im wondering if his bout of behaviour lately was leading up to these things.

i took my omega 3's back to boots & got refunded.they had sodium methyl hydroxybenzoate in E219 which is known to make children hyper and they were the ones recommended for him being hyper!

was going to mention the behaviour to the doc tomorrow but i think i'll let him get right again from being ill then see how his mods are etc.

there's always something health wise with him poor thing.usually his throat or his ears.

if you are worried about your childs hearing make sure you get it checked.it took up over 2 years to get a hospital appointment after loads of failed hearing tests.

It's great isn't it - ds take probiotics for allergies and the child ones are stuffed full of sorbitol (hum, a laxative for children with dodgy guts) and "natural" orange flavouring.

Ds is always a handful right before getting ill.

he went to the doctors today.temperature 38.9 degrees.he's got tonsillitis.well i presume he has.

got given 6 years plus paracetamol, he's 5, and amoxycllin.

hes now high as a kite as the paracetamol has got a preservative in it that sends him hyper and the amoxycillin has got one in as well.

was told he could go back to school thur/fri as long as temperature is down.if he isnt right still i'll wait until monday.hopefully the antibiotics will kick in soon

Get paracetamol suppositories, or crush the right amount of a tablet and mix with some jam.
