Go buy more melatonin if you can't find it today. His schedule is messing up and it's not his fault. Yes it may irritate you but you need to consider why it's happening. It used to irritate the hell outta me when my baby step brother was constantly up and down the stairs at night. My step dad started having him take melatonin per his doctors recommendation an hour before bed time. During that time he sat in bed with a book, a bottle of water and he'd get a piece of fruit if he was hungry.
In summer time/during good weather they would go on walks/bike rides to run any energy out of him. It worked pretty well.
Don't punish for something he was born with. That may end up hurting him mentally in the end. He can't control how his brain functions and it's nobodies fault.
He still needs to stay in bed. Definitely not punishing him because he cant sleep but hes not even trying and he still needs to follow rules. Went and bought some the next day
My daughter is the same way I stay up sometimes till 2am 🤷♀️ doesn’t bother me one bit as a mom you learn that sleeping isn’t a thing lol 😆 especially with a child that’s hyperactive she will sleep for like only 5 hours my son on the other hand sleep for 12. Everyone’s different.
@anicole3285, eh what?? That’s what adhd does to your body it’s near impossible to wind yourself down after being jacked up all day. So why punish your child for this and say he’s using it to his advantage ?? Find a way to get his energy out before bed
I'm sorry I have to be blunt it might be hard on you but look through his eyes it's ten times harder on him. he can control it it's a constant battle of body and mind once he has the in his brain he can't just turn it off cause he wants to. and he is not doing it just to piss you off so taking stuff out punishments and getting angry isn't gonna do anything my son has adhd and use to be like this until we made bed time an hour long event he starts reading a book to mentally and physically calm down an hour before bed no tv no games or cell phones. also look into therapy programs to help him and you learn this stuff. it's not a choice for him and having adhd is more than just being a "hyper " child way more complicated
@anicole3285 sure tell yourself that 👏👏 whatever makes you feel better
@anicole3285 yea.... ( pats head)
Just start punishing him or taking things out his room every time he gets out the bed there’s no reason he can’t lay in the bed 🤷🏼♀️ he’s old enough to listen
@kush_queen420 excuse me do some God damn research clearly you have no fucking idea what you are talking about
@dontblockmesis-imjustspeakingfacts 👏👏👏👏👏 thank you
@dontblockmesis-imjustspeakingfacts, same 🤣🤣🤦🏽♀️
He may need something to help him sleep. Is he on any ADHD meds? Try to understand how he might be feeling. I know it’s frustrating.
@dontblockmesis-imjustspeakingfacts he'll stay up for hours on end. Ive tried that. Ive been thinking pf a weighted blanket. He has sensory processing issues also and anxiety and i know all that can be hwlped with weighted blanket. Ive looked into it just havent gotten yet
@anicole3285, that sounds like a good idea. I hope that helps him. I’m apart of a group on fb for parents who have children with mental health issues. Let me know if you want to join. It’s a support group and they have good advice and ideas. Find what works for him and just remember sometimes it takes time to figure out what he responds to. Sometimes changing the routine helps them as well. Maybe try to start bed time earlier. Even cutting out certain foods and drinks help. I’m here if you ever want to chat.
@dontblockmesis-imjustspeakingfacts thank you yes id like to join
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
For Fun
With most of us in a sleep regression or exhausted from being working moms, or just plain bored I figured it would be fun to get a little game started... so who's up for 2 truths and a lie? It's easy.. you post 3 facts about yourself, 2 true and 1 lie and when you guess you post yours here's mine:
