I need help and advice.
I don't know if this is a me problem or a kid problem. I would love some advice and suggestions.
I have a 4 yo and 7 yo. the 7yo has adhd (getting OT, no meds). they are constantly at each other. The 4 yo is usually fine when alone. Once the 7 yo is up, they are at it - arguiing, calling each other stupie, idiot. When our 7 yo was younger, he didn't talk like this. I'm assuming he learns this at school. And now our 4 yo learns it from him.
our 7 yo also wants to constantly be center of attention. It's almost like it would be an odd day if he didn't some sort of deregulation. For instance, I told my 4 yo 'nice job drawing a picture this morning'. He immediately then gets upset that he hasn't gotten a compliment yet.
I am losing it with both of them. It's very exhausting.
I am open to any advice and parenting lessons.
