How do I get my sons attention?
My 6-year old son was diagnosed with ADHD in May of this year. His doctor prescribed Adderall 10mg once daily. I seemed to be working good until recently. I talked to his teacher and I have the same issue, trying to get his attention to give him even simple directions is almost impossible. He is so easily distracted by the simplest things. Such as a scrape on his knee, or a question or comment he just has to announce. He can't accept directions until his issue is addressed. He frequently, almost always interrupts when you try to explain simple direction. I was against medication at first because I didn't want him to be (droned out) and lose his spunk. Being on such a low dose this didn't happen. But I am afraid we will need to up his meds to obtain the effect that we desire. I wanted to know if anyone has any other suggestions on how to get his attention.
Thanks in advance for your time!
