[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure you are still reading  and I had to stop after about the 5 th post.  I am usually so kind on here but your post sounds so judgemental..." Am I the only one...etc.". Does your child really have adhd and has been diagnosed by a doctor with testing?

As a parent with an adhd child, medicine was the only thing that helped - with focus, attention, learning, peer group.  Your post makes me want to cry and I am years away from this now as I have an amazing, successful son.  Why do people post like this....do you really think you are the better parent?  NO WAY did I want to give my child meds.  I read and read and consulted specialist after specialist, cried endlessly.  Would you say " am I the only one not giving my diabetic child insulin.  I'm such a better parent and love him more than you do yours as can manage it all by myself."  The kids who take meds take it for a medical reason and NEED it.  It is not a choice!  If you have a choice, maybe your child got the wrong diagnosis.

And while you have pushed my buttons,,,,if it is adhd ( like my son had) He is a pain in class because mine was.  I have a quiet, shy kid too and guess what...when your class clown is joking, talking, jumping all day and the teacher constantly has to redirect it bothers [b]my shy, quiet child who comes home stressed [u]and does not like your child[/u][/b].  Wow, just wow.[/quote]

was this part necessary? Was it really important to you to get that last part in, make sure OP reads it, mulls it over? Feel better now?[/quote]

Yes, it was important because my older child was her child and he WAS NOT LIKED either.  This is not a joke " oh, he's the class clown." Kids pick up on this and they know way before we do who is not liked.  i am telling her the truth and I found her post very unkind and super judgemental.  I do not know her child so  I am being honest about public perception in a classroom.  She needs to know the truth.  Not a false belief.  [/quote]
