My son (7) has SPD and ADHD. He and I are struggling. When he is focused on an idea or game - the transition out of it to something else is usually volatile. And heaven help me if I have to give an answer of "No." He throws fits that are getting violent, hitting and punching me. There seem to be two schools of thought on how I can handle this. One is to ignore him. Give this behavior no attention. I have tried this. It gets bigger and can go on for an hour (which is not an option when we are trying to get to school). It also hasn't stopped them from happening. There is also the idea of "attachment parenting" which is to keep my boundary of "no" but to be with him, let him sit on my lap, etc. This works a little better and I feel better doing this, but the tantrums calm then when the answer is still "no" he goes into it again..... I feel this behavior is attached to his SPD. I think that he gets overwhelmed with his emotions and can't process them. I could really use some advice- help - perspective on the best approach to help him.
