I'm at my wits end with one student. She does use bad behaviour for neagtive attention, but when I 'catch her being good' she then turns it around into bad behaviour. What am I supposed to do then? She's 5 and very stubbourn, and oppositional. Rewards don't work as she doesn't care. Punishment is a bit more effective, but so disruptive to the classroom as she throws tantrums.
Any ideas?

This is very interesting Jim.
What symptoms did you notice in yourself back then? How do you think your life would be different now had you had some sort of treatment? Do you still have ADHD symptoms today?
Thanks for commenting. I hope to see more folks wander over from our mental health sites.
