[quote=Anonymous]I have known for sometime that my DD had trouble concentrating. This year has been awful. She's getting Ds and Fs! It's affecting her confidence as a student. She doesn't listen at home either which is causing considerable disruption to the family routine. She wants so badly to be a helper, to listen, to learn....but she physically can't get out of her own way. I'm having calls from the school once a week, her tennis coach says she's not focusing, her tutor said she can't focus, my DH is beside himself because she's so absent minded-wandering around the house instead of taking a shower or getting dressed for school. I'm at my wits end. It's affecting everyone in the house. Is it time for medication? Our family doc recommended Ritalin but it seems WRONG to give this to a 9 year old. Have anyone been here? What to do? [/quote]
