[quote=Anonymous]When my son was younger, he would have a hard time staying on task, focusing and sitting still. I addressed my concerns to his pediatrician. I filled out a questionnaire for ADHD, and it described my son. A friend who worked in the local school system suggested Other Health Related Services, so that he would not be labeled. He was eventually put on an IEP, to cover/protect him. Sometimes others see what we the parent don't see concerning our children. As parents, we often justify the behavior. There are things that children will do at school, that they wouldn't do at home and vis versa they do stuff at home that they don't do at school. Have you taken him to his doctor to have him evaluated or mention any concerns at his 6 yr. old checkup? I have learned that my son focuses on what is of interest to him and if it isn't of interest, then he struggles to pay attention.[/quote]
