[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of well intentioned advice here but the teacher is way overreacting. WAY overreacting.[b] Your child's behaviors are perfectly within the range of normal for this grade.[/b]

I would ask the teacher to start with a behavior chart where she gets one goal about talking. This is the easiest thing to do and the teacher should already have done it if you're getting so many reports. You should also talk to the teacher about letting her get a movement "break" between activities so she can get extra energy out. I also like the idea of a wiggle seat. You could  try a fidget.

IMO it's too soon and too extreme to start meds.

These are only a few incidents spread out over many days. The kids I know who are medicated would do this and more during the span of a few hours.[/quote]

Nope. If this happens daily and your child basically disregards the teachers directions a few minutes after being given, [b]there is a problem[/b].[/quote]

OP has already had her DC diagnosed so she is aware that there is a problem.  However, the problem is not huge and the behaviors are within the range of normal for this grade.  [/quote]
