I need some ideas on how to occupy a 9yrold boy with ADHD, My own son has ADHD and I know from experiance that if hes kept occupied he's fine, I feel that with a minded child things might not be so easy, esepcialy as he's at that age when children seem to grow out of childcare and dosent feel he should be in childcare. I have a few ideas up my sleeve but wonded what other peoples ideas are,, so far I have thought of baking, science experiments, some easy woodwork kits, kenex , lego etc My son loves his xbox and I thought if the parent was in agreement for reward for good behaviour he could half hou on the playstation before he goes home then I can also use it so that if he misbehaves he gets a strike, 3 strikes and theres no playstation . oh not me striking him lol just 3 chances.
also this particular child is nasty to other children and when told about it he dosent show any empathy towards the other children yet he obviously knows its not nice , this is somthing I havent come accross before so I wonded if you guys had and how you have delt with this, I want to help the child to understand his actions aren't nice and how they make the other children feel, obviously I can talk to him about it but I get the feeling he needs more input and help with this. He tends to shout in other childrens faces and can grab somtimes although the grabbing is when he starts to get over excited.
