So my 7-year-old son has always been a bit of a handful. As a single mother I've dealt with it the best I can but recently it's been almost too much for me to deal with.
He's been been acting up worse than ever at home and now it's even begun to affect his schooling. He's currently enrolled in first grade and according to his teacher he's been refusing to participate in his school work, distracting other students with his behavior and even been openly defiant of authority figures.
Our pediatrician refused to prescribe any ADHD medications so I ended up just buying some off a family friend and ordering the rest off the internet.
He's been taking them for two weeks now and so far I'm seeing absolutely NO change in his behavior. If anything he's been getting worse. I had to pick him up from school two days ago after he attempted to bite his teacher when she tried to confiscate his iPhone.
What's my next step here? I feel like I'm beginning to lose control of the situation.
