[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok daycare is very different from pre-school. I have a child with hyperactive ADHD and private pre-school was by far the worst period. You want to put him somewhere he can be successful. Most preschools have a circle time and some level of work at a desk. My kid is a literal genius who was reading and doing math before preschool and they wanted to counsel DC out because they could not sit still during circle time. It was really really emotionally hard on them. Call it what you want but if your child can’t sit through 10 minutes of circle time, be upfront about that and ask questions. If I had known our preschool expected 4 year olds to sit for a 30 minute circle time I would have put DC somewhere else. My younger child goes to a non prestigious Montessori school but he’s HAPPY because he’s able to able to meet their expectations. Please don’t assume meds will fix this; I have never heard of a child starting medication before age 4 and even then getting to an optimal dose takes time. Don’t make him suffer in the meantime![/quote]

OP so the thing is he usually can sit at 2.5 for 5-10 mins of circle time. He is very active otherwise and has mlre
Limited attention span in general. [/quote]
