[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks so much for all the feedback.  Keep it coming.

We are facing this decision for a first grader.   I am past the denial phase and moved into the realization that he has some kind of problem.     Yes he is an active boy as PP mentioned but every single teacher notes that his behavior is out of the norm.   In a smaller class or with one on one he would be fine.  In a class with 20 kids and many distractions no so much.

He knows he is not doing well at school with his behavior and I am sure he is not learning as much as he could.    But he is doing OK which would be fine with me except that he wants to do better and cannot.  Its hard to watch.   He is seeing a psychologist but there is only so much talking you can do with a 6 year old that has much impact.  [/quote]

My son started meditation and CBT at 8. It is hard to believe that an 8 year old can comprehend these things but it made a huge difference in his life.

Remember, what works at 6 might not work at 13. It is a continuous process. I found a school that had outdoor activities 5-6 times a day regardless of the weather. He also did sports which helped. But that same school eventually was not a good fit and we moved again.

Trying to find a path that works is great, being able to realize that others will never understand the path you create for your child will be your greatest armour against judgement.[/quote]
