KEEP YOUR HEAD UP :)
Thanks, This came at the right time for me. I just found out that my son(six years old)with ADHD. The school he attend has not been helpful to him. This is day two with medication. The teacher lock him in the classroom to keep him from running out and when he told her that he want to go home she said no and than he jump on her(which is not a good thing). Please help I am a divorce mothere and new to this.
This is going to sound cheesy, but your son needs LOTS AND LOTS of extra love. ADHS children are usually really sensitive, and can't help what they do. They should not be made to feel like freaks! I promise you that he has the potential to be GREAT at something. He just needs help finding it. ADHD also comes with fantastic qualities like creativity and intelligence. Heck, I have a PhD, and my symptoms are horrible.
Keep the faith, and give lots of love!
Well it sounds like you are struggling with the school. Set up a meeting with the school counselor or the disability department. Get him the accomodations he needs. Start now before he gets older and it becomes much worse. Give the medication sometime and if it doesnt work switch to other things. Watch what he is eating, stay away from sugars. Those used to make me go crazy when i was younger. I would also try calling the teacher and working out a plan with him/her. Make him the errand runner for tissues, if someone gets sick. Let him take frequent restroom breaks. Just to keep him going and to give him a break. Make sure you spend a lot of time with him and def. provide him with lots of love. I would recommend creating a schedule for him and making sure he follows through with it. Help him with his homework and anything that requires concentration. You can get through this it's just going to be a lot of work. Here to help :)
