[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with your mom.  You should be glad that she cares enough to say her opinion.  They are over diagnosing, and a lot of boys grow out of it.  Ask the elderly who used to be teachers, they will tell you that boys out grow it.  Find him a different school if that would help.[/quote]

OP again.  I love and trust my mom, but can't agree with her on this one.  We have seen multiple specialists, all of whom tell us that he has special needs.  And they are helpful, in that their guidance and therapy is making a difference.  My oldest doesn't struggle with these issues, excels at everything, is well-mannered, and my mother points to her as an example of "how we did it right."  Makes me crazy.  We simply can't parent both kids the same.

And I will never believe in spanking, my mother's solution.  It breaks my heart.  [/quote]

I don't know how you could trust your mom around your son.  This would change my relationship with my mom forever.  [/quote]

Yes. All of it is difficult.  [/quote]
