[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if this thread had gone a little differently if we could have tried to give you permission to either take a break or continue to try things slowly but somehow help you with the feelings for being asked to leave these activities. My child also has extreme hyperactivity and is a girl and she and I have been heaped with judgment over the years. She was asked to leave private pre-k and has not been successful in other settings. For me, the hardest things were the fact that that she would be upset when things didn’t work out and the incredible shame I felt that I couldn’t figure this out. She is medicated to the point that our excellent psychiatrist thinks is reasonable but she still is visibly more hyper and impulsive that her peers. I have no desire to spend months getting on multiple waitlists in the hopes of getting more medication from a different provider in a year (which is what we went through to get this doctor initially).

So here we are. After a while I’ve changed my job to protecting her and accepting her. We do what we can to wear her out every day, keep her medicated and work with a counselor to deal with her own feelings of inadequacy because she’s constantly doing her best and it’s not enough. For us things got better around 8 with regard to the hyperactivity. I think 4-6 was the hardest. Hope things improve for you soon.[/quote]

Op here. Thank you. This reply was very helpful.[/quote]
