it is not a health question so to speak. its about an 8 year old boy I babysit for the girl upstairs. she is a single mom struggling to keep afloat. when she is with her son he doesn't listen, he cries that sounds like a baby. he has no respect for her at all. very lazy like I have never seen. school is always calling that he cant sit still, bothers other kids and does not want to do his assignments. if he does its so sloopie he just rushes through it. all he cares about is cartoons and his tablet the school supplies for work. he has figured a way to download games. when he is on the tablet or watching cartoons you can call him and he doesn't even look up. it takes turning off the tv or taking the tablet to get his attention. even after you do that he still just fidjets thinking about getting back to his tablet. even while doing those two things he is constantly moving. he cannot just sit still for nothing. he makes up stories and some do sound truthful. im 61 my kids are 41 and 38 on their own but now im trying to kinda raise this one with her. he is pretty good with me? we only had two run ins. my doc gave me a sheet about adhd with ten questions on it. I gave it to her and her son fit all ten questions. she is at her wits end. she asks me to help and I do. he opens up to me but not his mom. his dad is not in the picture. he always says he hates his dad. I feel so bad for her. shes 29. I know im jumping all over the place. also school just started a month ago and rides the bus. he already has two warnings and one more and he is off the bus. school just started. he is obessed with guns and fighting. he was with me all summer. we did a lot of fun things together and he seemed alright but now hes just acting up everyday. he tells his mom he is going downstairs by me to live. I know all kids use that line. she is going to the school counsler to see if he can get into counseling. there are 5 parts on the dr phil show that are about how to be a good parent. I watch him everyday and tape the morning shows so I can watch them in the evening. im getting off track but im hoping for some new shows soon. please help us or direct us to someone who can. im typing fast and I know im spelling words wrong but your doctors and I know you can make them out. I appreciate any help you can give.
