Review Question - QID 214557

Two siblings, a 7-year-old boy and a 9-year-old boy, are brought to the pediatrician by their mother for behavioral concerns. She states that her 7-year-old son has gotten in trouble at school multiple times for disrupting the class by calling out. His teacher reports that he will often run around the room during quiet time and constantly fidgets. At home, he cannot complete tasks like simple chores and does not seem to listen when spoken to. Her older 9-year-old son does well in school but has similar issues at home. The mother states that at home her 9-year-old son “can’t sit still” unless he is playing video games. He will throw a tantrum if the games are taken away. It is a struggle to get him to do his homework. If the 7-year-old boy is case A and the 9-year-old boy is case B, which of the following choices describes the most appropriate management for each patient?
