How do I get my little cousin to calm down and listen?

well he is usually only on medication at school when he needs to focas the most when he comes for a visit down to my place he is usually without meds . my one main concern is that he is so demanding and sneeky like I would ask him to ask his parents before I would let him do something but I can’t be really sure if he even asked of if they had said no and he lies. I sometimes go down with him, but not always because I don’t want to end up in the arguement becuase they are the parents and he might beg for me to defend him or take his side.

A child with ADHD is a difficult thing to handle. My son is ADHD so I know what you’re experiencing.

I can tell you that it’s damn near impossible to get an ADHD child to calm down when they’re hyped, and the only thing that worked for me was to allow him to physically release his energy…once he’s spent, he listens a little bit better.

Do his parents have him seeking a pediatrician? It’s very important - especially when he’s in his school years since most schools won’t allow an ADHD child to attend school unless he’s medicated.

Wow…my aunti takes care adhd kid, I speand the night with her and she had to babysit him. He was a mess and I know what your talking about. When he is trying to be sneaky and asked his parents before you, You NEED to tell your aunti and uncle that they need your permission first before he uses any of youe stuff. I know he has adhd but does he get his way alll the time??

well I usually let him use my psp but all I know he could be grounded by his parents or something else so if I hear at first that he can’t use it I try not to let him but at times he just keeps pleading and he can be rough too.
