I have a 3.5y old DCB that shows some signs of ADHD when I look it up online. He has problems sitting still, following directions, always touching others or things he shouldn't (like items on my desk for example). He copies what other kids say or do. For exampe: A child coughs, he coughs. A child stands on a chair and I remind that child we sit on chairs, so he will go and stand on a chair.
He also agrues with everyone. A child could say they love the color blue. He will say "no you don't". The kids have started to just say "Ignore Him" because that's what I tell them. If ***** keeps agruing with you ignore it. He also cannot walk inside. I've given up on the walking thing. I use to have him go back and walk, or make him sit at the table to give his legs a break. It didn't get any better after 6months. I still don't let him run but I've made peace that it's not going to get better.
I can tell the other kids are gettting annoyed some days with him.
He is driving me batty!! I've had other issue's like name calling but that was short lived. I've also asked the parents not to put too much into his behavior here because I felt it was getting out of hand, and parents were threatening to have him go back to other daycare which he would start crying since he likes it here (they were never going to really do it) and it was an empty threat that I think he caught on to. I can tell he is a good kid, just wears me out and makes me frustrated. I've tried to ignore the behavior, give more positive attention, do more one on one, etc.
We do the stop light behavior system and he is always on yellow. I try to give extra chances because I don't want him there every day. He is also on red some days but I keep that for talking back to me or hitting, throwing a toy at some, etc.
Any advice on this type of personality would be very helpful. I'm willing to try anything.
