[quote=Anonymous]Elementary teacher here. You know it is time for medication when he is not successful in school and is likely feeling like a “bad kid” because he requires so much more help than the other kids. He knows he is not doing well and his self-esteem is going down the toilet and he’s adopting the class clown persona because he likes that better than being the class dummy, which is probably what he feels like.

It does take time to find the right med and it is important that you be very clear with him about ADHD and reassure him that you are going to get him extra help because he needs it, and it’s not his fault that his brain is wired differently so that school is hard.

Imagine what you would feel like at work every day if you had to correct your work all the time, your coworkers watched your supervisor constantly help you, and you couldn’t sit still and concentrate, and the list of tasks seemed overwhelming as your mind jumped from topic to topic? You would hate going to work.[/quote]
