Adhd

Get online right now and find out as much as you can about those issues. You may be able to work with this; but only if the parents/guardians are completely upfront and willing to communicate and work together.
Ask them what typical behaviour is for him, both positive and negative. Ask what coping skills they have. Does he require a certain diet? There are many foods that are NOT recommended for kids with ADHD.
Absolutely agree that routine, and short bursts of activities will be best. Do not expect him to sit and color for an hour like some kids will do. However, set up the expectations of the home in terms of treating other people, and objects etc respectfully. A diagnosis of ADHD is not a free pass to destroy things or be aggressive with other people.
I had a family last year not even tell me that their child was on medication for his behaviour. Poor kid, his parents were in such denial that he wasn't getting the support necessary. I was not sorry to see him go.

Thanks Skysue; without your input I would have never been able to withdraw care.
I was stressing so much I'm glad that I informed the parents right away.It would have been hard to do that once the boy was here for awhile.

It's never easy terminating care but if it's upsetting to our whole day plus everyone else it just isn't fare to us or the poor child. Just curious why was the poor child experiancing post dramatic stress disorder?
