[quote=Anonymous]^^PP here. I should also add that we didn't get a lot of guidance from her teachers either. Even though DD would have conflict at school, it was always reported as being within the normal range for kids that age. The impetus for us seeking an evaluation and eventual medication was because it was wreaking havoc on our family life. We had gone to the teachers to get feedback to try to determine if it was something at home that was causing her to act like this or whether she was showing these signs at school, too. While she was, it was to a lesser degree. I honestly think the teachers didn't view her behavior as all that concerning because there were other kids in the class who were far more challenging and because my DD has the type of personality that teachers and adults just love. I think they overlooked or at least explained away her behavior for those reasons. I'm not blaming them at all, but just illustrating how teachers aren't always able to give us the clarity we may want in these situations.  [/quote]
