My second born son has adhd and gets into stuff
I’m stressing out my second born son gets into everything and he is 8 years old. I don’t know what to do to help guide him to stay out of stuff. He got into flour.
On top of everything my husband isn’t helping he’s just making it worse in my opinion. He wants to take away summer school from him cause all they are doing is fun activities but they are still learning as they do activities like they are doing. Tomorrow they get to go to the movies and park if weather lets them. But my husband wants to take that away.
I feel like since I signed them up for summer school I have to send them cause if I don’t I could get in trouble for not sending them. I’m so freaking stressed out. Like what do I do.

It’s a big stressor to have to choose between following the other parent or following through we what you have chosen for your kids … first of all rewards and punishments don’t really work for ADHD . Why? Because it’s not about your kid wants to behave like that, it just happens to him .
Kids with adhd are developing slower , are approximately 3-4 years later than the neurotypical, meaning that he would do things a 4-5 year old do , but eventually they do …
So skipping summer camp will not do much for his ‘behaviour’.
What will do ? First everyone calm down and when you are out of the stressed situation , talk to your boy . Explain what are the rules of the house … will he do it again ? Probably yes because he will forget what you told him … but with time he will know and wont do it again .
