I am happy to finally see somebody post a positive about this subject. When I was little I used to be like that and my parents used to punish me all the time for it, years later my mom had a daughter that acted like I used to and she encouraged her to use her creativity and hyper activity to her advantage. She recently told me she wish she new then what she new now so she could've delt with a hyper child better.

FYI, no meds were given to either of us as children for our behavior. I adopted a 7 yr old with adhd and after a month of him being doped up I quit giving him the meds and he is doing great in school and at home, wasn't easy but he and I learned how to help him control his actions to keep him out of trouble. He's been with us for over a year and everything is going great.

Hopefully he won't get the wrong idea by you rewarding him fro rule breaking becuase then he will see rule breaking as okay but your ideas seem good as long as the child doesnt think that rule breaking is okay.
