[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What made you think your child might have ADHD, OP? I saw what you said about sometimes impulsive and chatty but it’s not just that, correct?[/quote] OP here. DS is currently in 3rd grade in public school. 1st grade teacher suggested we “talk to our doctor” because of DS having emotional outburst and low frustration tolerance. This was also first year back after pandemic. We spoke to ped who said to have school therapist evaluate as a first step. She observed in the classroom and didn’t think further evaluation was necessary and said the teacher was overreacting. Nonetheless, we started a positive behavior plan and by the end of the year the teacher was glowing about our sons progress. Fast forward to third grade - we still hear the same concerns from teachers at conferences but no, there are not regular phone calls home. Teachers report low frustration tolerance particularly in social settings. He is easily baited by other children. He is a “big feelings” kind of kid. We are doing a social skills group but I wonder if I’m in denial and we need to do more. The other part of me says that just because he has social challenges, I don’t need to drop thousands to get a doctor to tell me what I want to hear and medicate him. We could totally wait and see if he matures but will I be doing some kind of permanent damage to his self esteem if it does turn out he has a legitimate issue that needs to be medicated? Sorry for the rant here. [/quote]
