They do get very emotional. I have 6 year old with ADHD/ODD it is hard for us. He gets out of control and I try talking him down. He is on 25mg of strattera. I believe it helps him at school but at home, it's a totally different dynamic. He is very nasty and is forever upset. We tried a reward system he doesn't even balk at it. I know this is not an answer. What I'm trying to say is don't give up their our children and we have to advocate for them with all we've got. Hang in there, father of 6 yr old with ADHD/ODD.

Yes it is very hard my three year old is constantly throwing tantrums screaming at us cussing at us we’ve tried everything I just don’t wanna do anything wrong or be a bad mom because I’m trying the best I can.

Don't ever blame yourself that is a default reaction we have as parents.

My son is four now but when he was 2-3 years old it was sooo hard! He threw tantrums every day over the smallest things. I would carry him to his room, lock the door from the outside and just sit and cry. But he started to find comfort in his blanket/bed so he eventually started going up there himself to calm down. Turning 4 was very helpful. He still has anger and fits but he’s matured some and now we’re not dealing with it every day. And I found that I HAVE TO IGNORE HIM. it’s so hard bc you want to reason with them but you can’t. Especially when they are three. For us, ignoring helped a lot. Even if that meant I couldn’t drive anywhere bc he would get buckled up. I just have to wait it out. It’s very hard, yes, but you can do it. We also have a 13 year old with adhd. You still can’t reason with them when they are teenagers 😂 I have to just walk away from him.

It’s seems impossible I know. But hold on, he may mature.

Also don’t beat yourself up. We’re nit perfect and sometimes we explode too. Are there community rec centers near you that you could put him in to start a sport?
