[QUOTE=skyy11;3520695]Thanks for the reply, but isn't better to get it checked out now, than wait till he is older so we can know what to deal w/? He will be in school next year and I do not want to wait and have a teacher start telling me that something is wrong.
Maybe they can not say for sure, but I think he should start w/ some kind of teaching/ treatment now.
As for playground, that is a great idea, but there is still soo much snow up here that we have to wait a few more weeks- plus I have issues w/ my own energy right now...Any others w/ ideas/support for this?? Thanks.
Hi Sky: I have a 7 year old boy. He has been hard to handle since he was two. I have been working with many therapist ect. He went to a great pre-scholl, but it was hard for him to sit still. We have a great school system here in VT. Before he started Kindergarten we had a huge meating my son went to a specialist. We now have a great special ed teacher who he see for reading. He is in a reguular class.
We were not going to give him meds until kindergarten. We started with ritalin BAD then Adderall worse!!! Then concerta okay, but his eating is really bad. Now he is on Focalin. It works well but he eats 4 meals at night .
What I saying is get all info now see as many people as possible keep everyone involved.
START NOW.
