[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your child is 10. If her behavior is so bad that it’s getting her kicked out of school, she either: 1.) has some undiagnosed issue 2.) she has never been disciplined in her life. Have you done a neuropsych?[/quote] Yes. Twice. Like I said, both showed nothing other than mild anxiety. She is [b]constantly [/b]disciplined for not abiding by our rules, so often that it's exhausting and I wish I had never had kids. [/quote] If this is the case, then you sit her down and calmly and matter of factly tell her that she will be moving schools next year, and exactly the reasons why. She needs to learn that her actions have consequences. You might also consider putting her on a low does of Lexapro. I wouldn’t be surprised if the “mild anxiety” is more than that.[/quote] Wouldn't the neuropsych evals have picked up anything else?[/quote] She is very young. Somethings may not be glaringly obvious until later, especially if she is particularly smart. We had our 12yo tested due to some executive functioning issues that we were seeing, but nothing came up on the neuropsych except for some anxiety. DD was labeled as gifted because of her high scores on the intelligence tests. But now, a year later, it’s becoming abundantly clear that she likely has ADHD. We haven’t gotten her retested yet because of $$$ but will likely do it before high school. [/quote]
