[quote=Anonymous]Wow you people are mean. The kid is 7. I think the PP who suggested ADHD is on the money. I’m a veteran high school teacher but I grew up in a family of elementary teachers and have seen it a lot and it is typical for it to manifest this way in girls. If it runs in the family then you probably have your answer. She may need more support, mostly in the form of building social skills. Every kid has totally different needs so what works for one may not be effective or helpful or necessary for another. Also, just to say, your kid is going to be fine because she has parents who care! Trust me when I say this. I teach teens and i cannot tell you how many kids I have seen with ADHD who adults dismiss or say is trouble or whatever, and since I have been teaching for 16 years and now know them as adults….guess what? They are all fine and thriving! Especially when the parents get involved, like you. Why are we so unforgiving of children (and parents)  not being perfect? Really sad. And also foolish…if these critical parents really think their kids will never face issues, think again. [/quote]
