If he does have ADHD, then it could be a short attention span and mood swings like hyperactivity. That really can't be helped and if you're firm, be kind as well and repetitive. Your wife probably thinks that If you "discipline" him that he may see it as punishing him for his incurable health issues. Instead of being firm or disciplining him, why not enrol him in sports or a hobby? That should teach him discipline and patience.
Urgh... No kidding. Enrolling him in a sports hobby wouldn't be allowed by my wife. He hates sports. I enrolled him at the Y a few years ago and he came in crying about how someone bullied him (even though he is usually the antagonist) but no matter where he goes he cries about being bullied, or that it was too hard, or that he gets homesick... His Mom allowed him to be kept out of school for the first few months of the 7th grade and he just about failed because of his emotional issues. But I swear he does it on purpose to get out of doing what he doesn't want to do.
Will she allow him to go to a therapist. I know I don't know him personally but I have a feeling that he isn't faking it. A good therapist should be able to find truth from fiction.
My wife won't let my discipline my son... IIN?
