[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You may not want to admit your kid has ADHD, and they may not, are they on the young side of birtdays? Is she not getting enough sleep? That could be an explanation, but it should not b dismissed.  A couple of years of class issues can be pretty damaging, I managed to deny it until second grade and it was pretty damaging to my kid.

See if you can just spend an hour in the class observing, if your daughter appears to be a lot more disruptive then you have some objective data.  These conversations are hard, they make you want to feel defensive, but you need to focus on what you can objectively know and then figure out if you need to do gentle reminders or book an appointment.

First kid clearly ADHD, second kid some issues, but some changes and positive reenforcement from home, smoothed out most issues.  Just focus on what you need to do, not the teacher. [/quote]

What were the signs that made you realize he needed to get check for ADHD? Was your school helpful in this process?[/quote]
