[quote=Anonymous]OP you are describing our 4th grade AAP son as well! I shall be following these posts with interest and looking into the posted links.

Our DS seems borderline and in fact his preschool teacher/director told us unsolicited to never let future teachers tell us he's ADD because he's not - at least that's what she thought - from her 20+ years of teaching. I'm wondering, however, if maybe he is. My family has plenty of undiagnosed ADD artists, writers etc. The ones that tried medication felt more focused but hated the side effects.

It's such a fine line - this ADD. DS is a very out of the box thinker, is seen as a leader, and generally is a charmer of his peers and adults alike.  I sense his current teacher, who runs a tight ship, is going to have the talk with us at the upcoming conference. We have a few emails from her with classic ADD language. In past years, teachers have given him a grade at the end of the day based on his behavior. He can usually pull it together when a reward is offered by us, but eventually slips backward. It's a sticky situation all around. Maybe that's the way some borderline 4th grade boys behave? How do we figure all this out? Ugh!

I look forward to hearing what you learn.[/quote]
