[quote=Anonymous]My 5 year old is enrolled in and having a really rough time in kindergarten. He’s been diagnosed with ADHD and more is coming. He’s been seeing developmental ped and various therapists for the past 2 years so we’re on top of things, but public school is a new ball game. So we’re doing the eval process there and starting to work towards getting accommodations.

I met with the principal last week. She’s one of those incredibly in tune and on top of things super woman principals. She works well with parents. After talking with her for some time about my son, we got more casual in our conversation and she started brainstorming with me some about his options. K has been hard for him so far. He’s really unhappy. He has self regulation issues, emotional immaturity and isn’t socially aware even though he desperately wants friends. He’s not advanced academically. She mentioned that if we wanted to we could pull our son out this year and re-enroll him in K next year. Even though he’s a January birthday. There was zero pressure, she just put it out there as an option.
He’s a January birthday, and is 60% percentile height and weight.

So here’s my question, if your ADHD kid is older, would waiting a year have helped? Do you find that the immaturity is prevent throughout. Is this something that I should consider? [/quote]
