keep telling him how proud you are of him.... and always tell other people how well behavior he is and how hard he is trying... please let him hear you telling others how hard he is trying.

I bought a bunch of treats and toys from the dollar store and put them in a box and when she is good the entire day at school she gets to pick something from this box, so far it's working.

what he likes ... movies then rent a good one and watch it and eat candy in bed. the only question your bed or my bed. tell him how much you enjoy spending these time . sorry did I miss tell you the other kids cant come to the movie. its his reward. they can watch it a other time.

We've got a reward system at school. If my daughter has a good day she will get a sticker or something out of a treasure box. The school works with colors and so I put each days color on the calendar. At the end of the week she gets to do something special depending on her colors. Rewards can range from TV time, to playing her DSi and even a trip to the playground.

Hi Tamira,
I feel for you. I have two daughters w/ ADHD and I have it as well as being bipolar. We've been pretty successful though. I saw your other post too and it's looking like you need some support for yourself as well. Don't be afraid to take care of yourself too. Many moms make the mistake of feeling guilty for putting themselves first but your sanity is a priority in helping your son. I just posted some info in post called "My ADHD Bible". My kids doc gave me a book called "Taking Charge of ADHD" by Russell A. Barkley, PhD. There's a program in there that sounds like it may be good for your son. My doc and I call it "Chips" but in the book it doesn't have a name. If you can pick up this book, show it to your child's doctor and focus on chapter 11, step 5. It's too long for me to type though. It's a reward system that takes things a little bit above and beyond a chore chart. I use it for specific behaviors I want from my kids like telling the truth, not bickering, not throwing and using words instead when they are angry. You will know just what I mean if you can pick this up and read it over.

make him a reward chart daily, make it small chores and or money bank, when he does good give him reward and when he does bad take away
