My DS is 4 and a half. Recently he has stopped listening to us at home and in school. teachers are getting very frustrated, things are improving at home gradually. Most likely he will need an evaluation for ADHD. If he does have ADHD what can I do to help improve his listening? Does anyone have any guidance for this? He is also getting a little clingy everyday, tears with small things, maybe because both at school and home we are trying to discipline him. Maybe our ways are incorrect.

Do public schools have extended/after care in MD?

I wish I had gotten the co-sleeper for my son. He didn't like the crib or the bassinet. I find it easier in the middle of the night after a feed. I think there would be no harm in trying it before investing in a crib.

J-K= Junior Kindergarten. did they change the cut off? I don't know, what about MD cut off?

for parents who did send their children to MSCC did u think they were ready for Kindergarten in other schools?

his birthday is october 29. so when we applied to the private school in LA, he was early for J-K. They decided to test him and interview and then placed him in J-K. so he's ahead one year I guess. I am not sure if schools in DC/MD would do the same, or he would just repeat J-K,

Well, this is my dillemma and maybe you can all guide me. My son is in a private school in LA. we're moving to DC. I spoke to his teachers and they do not recommend her repeat J-K. They recommended he advance to Kindergarten. The cut off here is also Sept 1. He had to take a test and interview. We were really looking into public schools and J-K Private for this year. Now I don't know what to do.

the standard for Ultrasound is that babies age can be incorrect by one week in the first trimester, two weeks in the second and three weeks in the third. Also it's important that they are growing as opposed to the exact measurement. However, when they measure smaller than expected that's when they will need a work up for growth.from the measurements you give baby measures well within one week.
If you are concerned ask your OB to refer you to a perinatologist for the Ultrasounds.

I had shortness of breath too. Definitely sounds like allergies but for me I was also tired fatigue and very sleep at 26 weeks. They checked my blood count at 28 weeks and I was very anemic. Make sure that's not the case. Or just start taking SlowFe and see if it helps.

I have got a lot of information on the private and public schools from this forum. I am wondering if anyone knows of some "smaller" , "hidden" private schools, maybe not necessarily at the higher end, but still good enough.

Thank you this was very helpful.

Should I look at the preschool forum for names of preschools that I can call. The only one I know of right now is chevy chase montessori. Thanx.

My I ask how your baby is doing now and what the plan is?

Ill definitely look at it. thank you.
