My sons almost 7 and I am absolutely exhausted by him. At school he's shy. He is caring. He needs encouragement and shows no signs of misbehaving. They want to bring him out his shell more. He's apparently gone inside himself more in year 2 but getting abit better. I said at parents evening I suspected he had ADHD. They were like no he's absolutely fine at school..
At home however. Its hell on earth some days. He's just hyped up. His ears don't work when we are out. He shows me up in shops and on days out. He has meltdowns. He says silly things. He snatches of his sister. He is bouncing off the walls. On days out he whinges and kicks off. Doesn't matter where it is beaches, shops, parks or farms. He will meltdown and words will not bring him back to earth. Its like he's a two year old still.
I gave started saying if he doesn't stop misbehaving I will write it all down for his teacher. Then he keeps saying don't tell them. Don't tell them.
We went for a few hours to another tow n shopping on Saturday. He moaned he didn't want to walk. As soon as we got out the car he whinged he was hungry until the food was infront of him. After food he was hyperactive In the shops touch touch touch. Got silly at the tills and ran back through the shop.
Went into Starbucks before coming home he was loud and silly in there. A man asked if he's autistic. I said no as I don't see signs of that. Just hyperactive and incapable of listening. He got treats and went in a toy shop it wasn't a boring day for him but he still kicked off.
I am strict when I need to be. I have rules. He sleeps well. Behaves at school. He can be loving and kind. Some days are worse than others. If there's a puddle he will jump in it and be soaked. If we go to my parents ge is rude to my dad. My other child isn't like this.
I am at the point I don't want to take him out through fear of what he will do next.
Any advice.
