First of all, (((HUGS))) Tonya! Does he take medication (Ritalin, etc) for his ADHD? Alot of kids don't like having to take that medication because of comments from other kids. My daughter, Amy Beth was diagnosed with ADHD in the 4th grade ... she took Ritalin for a while, then her father took her off of it. To make a long ADHD story short, I think it was a big mistake to take her medicine away .... as she went on to fail out of high school her senior year!

Now, if it is "just" the asthma medication he won't take (which it sounds from your post) I can't imagine why he wouldn't want to get better. Hmmm. Maybe he is sort of "wanting" to be sick (have symptoms) to get your attention ... because of the baby and all? That would be my first guess. Maybe take the approach with him, during your talk, that you love him so much, and he is special (your FIRST baby) and that if he were to get sick and die from his asthma, how badly that would hurt mommy!!! Explain to him that you need his special help with the baby , and need him to be your strong big boy to help Mommy out when Daddy is gone so much.

Good luck sweetie!
