Mother needs her son to obey, not 'cooperate' Q My 7-year-old son, an only child, is giving me fits. He's overly active and will not cooperate in any instruction I give him. In addition, if I tell him not to do something, it's a guarantee he's going to do it as soon as my back is turned. I'm a single mom and I'm embarrassed to admit that he runs the house. I spoke to his pediatrician about him and she is recommending ADHD medication. I don't want to go in that direction; besides, he has no problems in school, and never has. His teachers love him and are constantly telling me how smart and mature he is for his age. It's like I'm dealing with a person with a split personality. If he's not crazy, I'm slowly getting there. Can you give me some tips? by John Rosemond
