Thank you all for your reply's. As a matter of fact he got a PS2 for Christmas. We allow him and his brother about 1.5 hours per day on it. I didn't like the idea of getting one but they begged for so long we finally gave in. Do you think that has anything to do with it? He's doing good this week because he is in Hockey camp.
He has started weighing himself with the hope of gaining weight. When I cook I generally cook clean, healthy food that they offen complain about. I hate to think that in order for him to gain weight I have to feed him junk food. I did make French toast with Rasberry flavored coffee creamer, splenda and protein powder for breakfast...he loved it!
We've talked to the doctor about how we feel and he changed his medication. He was diagnosed with ADHD 2 years ago, more of AD and not so much HD though. However, since school has been out we haven't had him on meds. since he has no homework or school to have to concentrate on. He says he doesn't like the way it makes him feel so he doesn't want to take them but I wonder if he should? I should probably talk with his doc again.
Sometimes I wonder if I just don't give him enough of my time? I am off work for the summer which allows me to be home with the kids however, I go to the gym every morning before they wake up. I'm training for a National Bodybuilding competition the end of August and I wonder if that has anything to do with his mood. I'm really just thinking out loud, actually in writing, sorry to ramble on. Thanks for your input!
