School resources? - ADD|ADHD:...
Published (2009-11-15 05:35:05)
Replying to: School resources? I'm sorry you are hitting a wall with the school district. Not good. First, I'd say that before your son can learn the things he is suppose to learn in kindergarten, he needs to be ready and able. Due to his developmental delays, let alone the ADHD, he's not ready to learn. Have you requested in writing that your son be tested for learning differences and officially document his learning delays....

Replying to: nine year old daughter with ADD You know, I wish it was something else other than ADD. Her hearing is fine. I wish I could tell her something and have her repeat it to me. She can't. There are times when I have to say it 3 or 4 times with the chance that she might still get it wrong. Her memory is horrible. I got her one of those "job charts" that they have at the store so she can check things off once she's...

Replying to: Do video games help or hurt? I do admit video games are a great educational tool and the nintendo ds is great for in the car on long trips. Lol. We just try and limit the amount of time on them.

Replying to: Do video games help or hurt? Both...neither. They may help, they may hurt...but played in moderation, video games can be great for hand eye coordination, problem solving, and increasing attention spans. Plus...they're fun.

Replying to: nine year old daughter with ADD You have pretty much described my son - except that he has meltdowns because he can't get his thoughts from his brain to either his mouth or paper. Medication helped. But he also has Aspergers - very high functioning Aspergers. Took us 5 specialist to get it diagnosed. Some of the things you describe could be Aspergers related. You might want to look into it.

Replying to: Happy update Hi Sandy, It's great to read your story and the positive outcome. I'm just starting down the path you've already traveled. May I ask exactly what the really good school district did for you son early on? We've run into a stone wall with our school district and I'm desperately looking for solutions. Karen

Replying to: School resources? I live in Alabama. We have moved several times. My son is six and ADHD. At first I did not have very much help and support. I talked with his teacher when he was in Kindergarden. We worked together on his studies. If your childs teacher is concerned about Her students She would be willing to work with you. NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND!!!!!! My son is now in the first grade and in a different school. The teacher He has...

I once read an article that said video games can cause ADHD but I also read an article that said video games can help treat ADHD. I'm not sure what to believe. Do video games help or hurt children with ADHD?

Replying to: Do video games help or hurt? I don't like when he gets so into the games that he doesn't want to stop playing, but playing games on XBox Live did actually help him with his social skills.

Dear Sandy, Welcome back--I sure remember you and your son. Thank you so much for sharing such a positive update with us all. It sounds like your son's self-esteem has soared! He's lucky to have a mom who was willing to do whatever it took to make things work out for him, even if it meant homebound instruction. Please make sure and keep us updated, and if ...

Replying to: nine year old daughter with ADD
I know that several people on this post are tired of TCMG's constant "It could be a vision problem", but I just learned that my son's biggest problems are hearing related. He still has ADHD and Aspergers, but that's not what is driving him to meltdowns, a bad attitude, and poor school work. I was the only one who suspected that something else...

Replying to: Need Help and Advise for 16 yr old
I do agree with mark_barnes2000. My stepdaughter has ADD and I know the old school where she was at told my husband that she didn't need it because she was at grade level. She was barely passing if that's what they want to consider grade level. Well now she is living with my husband, my daughter and myself. We enrolled her at the school ...

Replying to: I Am a Teen Struggling With ADHD
There are alot of choices for medicine. Some have just come on the market recently. Have you tried the Daytrana patch or Vyanase.? Get your self a psychiatrist that specializes in ADHD children. Go to an expert. They will be able to help you find the correct dose and the correct medicine. It's a lot of trial and error. They will also ...

Replying to: Telling My Son He has ADHD
I'm not sure what the correct answer is. When my DD was initially diagnosed and she began medication, she was too young/immature to understand ADD. She did however understand that she had problems coping with stress (much of it self imposed) and with focusing. So, we didn't use the words ADD b/c that was meaningless to her. We focused on the ...

Replying to: ADD/ADHD
I can sympathize - my son is the same way with writing assignments. Some of the accommodations the school offered for him were to let him type instead of write, or to get that computer program that lets him talk and it writes what he says - good for reports and such, but not much good if he's taking an essay test in school. He didn't want any of these, but you might...

They neither treat or cause ADHD. Some ADHD kids can play them for hours b/c they are stimulating. Everything in moderation.

Oh my goodness. This is my life. We do the same routine every night too. I feel your pain. My husband and I just had a discussion about this very topic just a few moments ago. I too am also thinking about melatonin. We have tried turning off the lights and sitting in the room in a chair reading while he settles down, sometimes this works ...

Replying to: my son
Focalin 5 mg is a pretty low dose. After speaking with his doctor I'd try Focalin XR (it is the long lasting version of Focalin) and I'd also consider increasing his dose to 10 mg. As children age, they metabolize the drug differently and usually require increase in dosage and often times they have to change medications. Good luck!
