[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids- never. Well behaved and respectful. (we have gotten it home about too much talking). A kid in one of their classes often goes. [b]It’s usually the kids with poor impulse control.[/b] They refuse to follow the rules, disrespectful to the teacher, spit, kick kids, use profanity, etc. [/quote]

Teacher here. This is correct. My own son, who was later diagnosed with ADHD, was sent to the office fairly frequently in kindergarten due to poor impulse control. The principal knew him well by November. Once he was diagnosed in 3rd grade and started taking medication, he never went to the principal's office. In fact, his teachers couldn't believe he ever had behavior issues.

Some of my former kindergarteners who spend time in the office are later diagnosed with ADHD. The rest just grow up and grow out of the impulsivity. [/quote]

Do you recommend the pills or the growing out of it?[/quote]

there is no growing out of adhd.[/quote]

In kindergarten, a lot of kids lack impulse control. By 2nd or 3rd grade, the ones who still cannot control their bodies most of the time need to be evaluated. My brother and son had ADHD. They both finally grew up around age 23 or so. It was a very long road but worse for my brother. They didn't really diagnose it back then.[/quote]
