My ex and I "successfully" raised a very active and chattery boy. In my opinion, your son sounds quite normal. I've always had a problem with the ADHD diagnosis because there is an unreasonable expectation for boys to be able to be still for long periods of time, especially in school. ADHD diagnosis or not, children need consistent and reasonable limits to be set by the parents. Instead of me espousing my thoughts, I highly recommend reading everything you can get your hands on written by John Rosemond. His work will help you enormously dealing with your son and yourself. Please just trust me, go to the library or bookstore immediately and read about simple, logical and sane ways of dealing with parenthood.
