[quote=Anonymous]I know that people are quick to jump on the "have her tested" bandwagon, based on a 2 paragraph post, likely written at the height of a parents frustration. But obviously stating the problem alone doesn't paint a whole picture. If you're concerned, check with your doctor, but there are a million other factors at play. Ds struggled with listening when starting kindergarten. They kid couldn't sit still or listen to anything, it seemed. But after putting in place some behavior charts and adding more structure to weekends and cutting back on tv, he settled down really nicely. He was reacting to getting less attention and being expected to be more independent. It became clear that he was absolutely capable of listening given a little extra attention and more consistent ways of handling it. He doesn't have adhd, as I was being told here. He just needed some extra help setting expectations. Not every kid is going to "get it" in the same way.[/quote]
