[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's nothing to diagnose. He's a boy. Sorry but many teachers do not know how to teach boys. Read Peg Tyre's The Trouble With Boys. Maybe give a copy to your teacher. [/quote]

PP I am so sick of hearing "He's a boy" used as an excuse for behavior. Yes, all children need to have physical activity, but they also need to learn what is situationally appropriate behavior. We don't know if this little boy has a challenge such as ADHD, we can not assess him here. It is people like you who make parents feel ashamed and not feel like they can ask for help. She should have her son assessed, there is no harm in gaining additional information.

OP Do you go to church? I am curious how he functions in that setting or others that require inactivity.

And I'm so sick of people stating that every young boy who would rather play or chat than sit still in school needs to be "assessed."  If OP is looking for a "diagnosis," I can promise you she will find some one who will provide that.[/quote]

+1. On this forum your child is definitely ADHD, likely +anxiety, and possibly sensory-seeking. You will always get that feedback here and from the many, many clinics, therapists and psychiatrists in the region.[/quote]
