[quote=Anonymous]I haven't read the whole thread but wanted to say that my (at the time undiagnosed) 5-year-old with ADHD went off the rails in kindergarten--eloping; tearing stuff off the walls. He loved his classmates and the assistant teacher, but the teacher was a novice and the class was chaotic, and the demands of writing were too much for him. We were actually grateful when the pandemic came, because it was an end to the outbursts. We switched him to a public school when we moved (he had been at a charter), and things were a lot better in many ways even before he had the diagnosis and medication starting in 3rd grade. Now he's in 6th grade and still has his meltdowns and learning struggles, and we have put in a TON of time with OT, therapy, and finding the right medication, but it's not kindergarten anymore, THANK GOD. All of which is to say, I feel you, OP; you may have a rocky road ahead, but it's not going to be quite like this forever. Good luck. [/quote]
