Hello, all
I had an experience the other day that I was wondering if everyone else
has seen it also.  Most ADD/ADHD children get along great with other
ADD/ADHD children.  The other day (and we have been to this person's
house several times before) we went to a friends house who also has a
ADHD child.  This child plays well with Jonathon and Sara, but Jeremy
likes the older child because they play sega games.  After a while
Jeremy and this younger child really started getting on each other nerves.
They started arguing with each other and pushing.  What I have seen is
Jeremy needs to be the one in control.  The other child is exactly the
same why.  With both of them fighting for the same position the atmosphere
became very hostile.  How do you get the two to get along?  Or is this
impossible because of their personalities?  I am not going to stop being
friends with this person because one of my children has a problem.  Both
children are exactly alike, although I have more infulence over mine than
she does and this mother looks up to me for some guidance.  This one has
me a little baffled.  Right now I am working with Jeremy to express his
anger with words, but of course, I only started this so its not something
he can do very well.  I'm just not sure how to handle this power struggle
with the two boys.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
