Oh I'm sorry to hear that, how old is your daughter. I can't leave the room she just comes storming out it is horrendous. I will look at the book thank you 😊
Mine is only 3 but ticking all the boxes and I have adhd too but I think she's alot worse than me. I've been told by her SEN teacher that I should sit with her in the room until she sleeps. I don't always want to as she hurts me so much but ultimately it helps with her falling asleep. You can also get melatonin gummies. But a big thing in the book is Rewards rewards rewards. For every single thing. Def listen to the book. Some great tips!
My daughter is 8 and is diagnosed ADHD & ODD - please, please take it from me I know it dosent feel like it, but I promise you things do get better. When you have your consultant appointment discuss all of this and there are things that can help with sleep - my daughter definitely grew out of the kicking off at bed times but my best friend who’s daughter is also ADHD decided to try melatonin (under consultant too) and they are a godsend for her (if that’s something you’d consider) but my daughter was struggling worse through the day, hitting me kicking me saying awful things to me, laying down in the street screaming and we did decide to go on daytime medication which has improved everything 100% - her grades at school are amazing compared to last year! Just keep a really good relationship with the school, they’re there to support you as well as your daughter. Speak to them and keep going your doing amazing mumma 🩷
Sounds like she is crashing at the end of the day. They hold it all in for the whole day & then it comes out like a storm once there are home & safe. Melatonin can be a big help in winding down.
Sounds like a very common symptom. It is so difficult and I am just heartbroken that someone has reported my oh. We always try to do our best with the tantrums but they just escalate. I will speak to the GP but I'm just heartbroken right now..
I'll be raw with you i was like this at a very young ages ( I was diagnosed at 6) and bedtimes would be hell for my mum I used to scream, shout, slam doors hit my mum and I was very verbally abusive 💔 😢 I was medicated too but refused to take my medication this was on going until I was about 14....I still don't know why I was like this and now at 32 regret everything I ever put my mum through xx
@Christina how did you mum deal with it? I am finding it so difficult Now I just lie with my daughter long enough that she is calm but it's draining and the constant worry she is going to kick off is a weight now
Unfortunately due to my mum's severe depression I was in respite care, I didn't get alot of attention from my mum, I think maybe if she sat with me till I fell asleep I probably would of been okay, try and get her into a routine, go for a walk before bed, or do some chores before bed, leave a radio on or read her story get her as involved with bedtime as possible, because our mind is in overtime we tend to get more hectic in the evenings so maybe try and start a bedtime routine earlier xx
@Christina oh I'm sorry xxxx Thank you, we do try at bedtime just the odd day (it was bad for about 2 weeks bit usually only an odd day a week) it is horrible and so hard to cope with.
I know it's hard, but stick with it hun, your doing fantastic, xxx
@Ghitta 💜 thank you! I'm gonna read this too.
Please read this book on audible. I finished it in 1 day. It is fascinating and gives so much insight and tips for adhd! How Not to kill your adhd kid https://amzn.eu/d/aq5pQGb Ps. Bedtimes is a nightmare. Their brains are literally keeping them awake and they can't control their emotions so when bedtime doesn't have a strict routine or they are overwhelmed or overtired they can become aggressive and violent. My daughter can be horrible to me at bedtime I've thus now brought her bedtime fwd by 30mins and that seems to help most nights. Tonight, we were 35mins late and she scratched me down my chest, in purpose, so bad. It burned for a long time after. I left the room, not saying a word, and she passed out within minutes. Good luck mamma. The book wil really help you.
