We have an appointment made to have him evaluated because I'm pretty sure he has adhd. I hope I'm wrong actually and he's just high-strung but that just doesn't seem to be the case.

I just need advice. I'm at the end of my rope. I've run out of ideas on how to discipline him. I don't want or enjoy yelling/scolding him...I'd really prefer an alternative but time outs don't work...I DON'T want to spank him. The few times we have its made no difference at all so why do it. I've tried holding him on my lap to relax and nope. Makes him 10x worse when I put him down. And this all stuff we've spent months trying.

He just seems like he can't listen, literally can't do it, ESPECIALLY if it's him needing sit still or take a breather. He can't sit still or sit quietly at all.

I just don't know what to do at this point. I don't want meds for him...he's just too little for that. But we've got to figure something out. There's got to be a way I can help him without him being in trouble all the time. Even if it's just a better way to implement something we've tried already. I'm willing to try anything.

He's such a good kid, he has a big heart. He loves his baby brother and he's so smart. I hate that I can't figure out what to do for him. And at this point for me too because I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to do this with him and his brother AND whatever this baby will be.
