[quote=Anonymous]OP, I haven't read everything in this thread, but your DD sounds a bit like our DD, now in high school. My two older kids were always strong students with many interests and extracurriculars, whereas DD has always been more interested in just hanging around, watching Youtube videos and listening to music. School for her is a challenge, although she tries her best. We recently had her tested and sure enough, inattentive ADHD was the diagnosis. We recently started her on medication and it seems to be helping, along with tutoring and extra school support. She's still not the kid who has "passions" or a string of accomplishments, however we're trying our best to nurture what she enjoys. After years of doing very little, she did join a couple of school clubs and decided to take up guitar lessons. It's a start. By the way, nobody at school ever suggested we have our DD tested; I wish they had, but she's never been disruptive and I guess that enabled to her to fly under the radar. [/quote]
