I also have a child who has been diagnosed bipolar and adhd. He has been being treated since he was 3. He is now 14. You really have it right in realising that extremely harsh disciplines do not work with this type of child. I have 6 kids and Alex is the only one with behaviour problems. The way we parent him has to be very different from the way we parent the others.
1. When he hurts someone else, immediately the attention should be given to the one he hurt. Rush to the kitty or the person who was hit and give excessive attention, while ignoring your son. Then direct your son to go to a safe place where he is ignored for a short period of time. After the brief time out, have a brief age appropriate discussion with him about what is expected of him. We found having our son write sentences repetively helped him remember expected behaviours because often times ADD kids have auditory processing problems, so writing it out, helps it sink in better than verbaly.
2 When he gets into an explosive rage, de escalating the situation takes calmness and consistency from you while keeping everyone else safe from the raging child. Have everyone else leave the immediate area where your raging child is while you patiently wait for him to calm down.
Parenting a child like this is exhausting, I know, Good luck
We also have an ADD possibly ODD child. My husband is amazing with our Daughter. He will take her by two hands and look into her eyes. Explain what she did in the most tender way. Tell her what she did or what he wants her to do the next time. He is amazing.
Focusing the child I believe is the most important thing. Trying to be calm and loving. These children do not have alot of control over their actions.
