Long night...flows into the morning

Last night Collin decides to tell me he finished all his homework at his Nene's (grandma) house. I decide to give him the benefit of the doubt since he's done awesome this week.  We get home he's helpful and in a good mood. I start feeling ill and guess what around bed time he informs me he has homework. I felt defeated, he lied to me. I said some harsh words to him. It didn't help the homework issue it made it worse. He finishes and takes another 20min to go to bed. Finally 930 he's in bed. Forward to this morning because of thelate bedtime he ia ddifficult to wake up. We head over to Nene's and he's bringing up my harsh words from last night. He ended up yelling and cussing this morning and refused to take his medicine. Of course I wouldn't allow that so he did get his medicine.  After 15 minutes of stress we hugged and said sorry. My point is with an ADHD child they tend to believe they are bad when they get mad. Collin's councelor always says its okay to be mad but not okay to be bad. They also hold on to the negative and don't know how to release it.

Lesson learned don't take a negative incident and add more negative to it. Instead resolve the incident immediatley in a positive manner with concequences.

Hope this helps you.
