Hello, I just looked clonidine up in my drug book to see what it said about the variety of uses. I was suprised to see all the uses for this particular med:...
Hi Barb, Although it sounds like you are in the lower part of the state, we are from the northeast I might have aplace for you to try. There is an awesome...
I have learned that kids with ADHD have a 20% difference in their maturity level vs. their age. Example: our daughter is 12 but maturity wise she is more along...
Becki, My oldest son has the same problems and always has as far as homework goes ( he is 15 now). The thing that has helped the most is to set aside 20-30...
That’s a great idea to have him sit and read if there is no homework. That way it doesn’t break the routine from day to day. I’m going to try this with...
I seriously never thought anything would work. It was the worst part of the day. But this seems to be what was needed. I could have fallen over after the 3rd...
Penny: Oh, after I replied I read THIS post of yours. And it's true! Maturity wise, they are definitely behind their peers. That is a struggle I see with my...
Oh I agree. My son is 15 1/2 and I don't see him ready at all for driving. I think I will let him take drivers ed to get his learners permit next year but I...
Shannon: OMG, again, our kids must be clones, because my DS is the same way on HIS bike (and, like you, I can't see THAT happening with a car!) Barb ... From:...
Barb, I know. I don't want to keep him from growing with his peers which is why I think I will let him sign up for drivers ed in the fall. He turns 16 in Nov....
You are welcome....good luck.......I remember hating it to the point I wanted to cry when he said he had homework. LOL Becki Eitel <cbcbdd6@...> wrote:...
Shannon: My DS will be 16 in August. So, lots of his peers have their permits right now. Hard! But, just have to keep on the path that makes most sense for...
"Coming in out of the rain ... had to chuckle at that one! My DS (and DD for that matter) will purposely go OUT into the rain! I guess it's not all bad! LOL" ...
Hi all! I haven't posted in awhile, but it seems like I'm going through a similar circumstance. My 8 year old is giving me trust issues, lying, sneaking...
Barb, That's what I told my son. Just because everyone else is getting it doesn't mean he is. All three of my kids love to go out when it is raining. The 2 yr...
Barb, My DS took drivers ed last fall. He's now trying to catch the teacher to take his test for his license. He'll be 16 the end of this month & here they...
You know, Nancy, I think you're right. My DS was only ... From: desertgal To: adhdparentssupportgroup@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2008 9:49 AM ...
Nancy: Sorry! My computer keeps hiccoughing. Anyway, I think you're right. My DS was diagnosed/started treatment when he was 12, so we've been @ this for...
Hello and welcome to the group. This is a great forum for info, support and venting! Medication is a slippery subject.... The typical stimulant medications...
Dear Gwen, Your introduction sounded like a synopsis of my sons first grade year. He did not know how to read. Math was a complete mystery. Social skills...
My DS just turned 9 so no driving issues yet but man do I ever see the immaturity. That's his biggest issue right now. He drives us crazy with some behaviors...
While this is true in some cases, not every child with ADHD is 20% behind in maturity level. I know I qualified (by today's standards) for the diagnosis and I...
Dear Becki, No surprise to me. Been there, done that with my oldest. Put your self in his shoes - he had a long day, tired, hungry, he cannot think straight,...
I just got off the phone with the educational specialist at J's clinic and she said she had heard of a not only a reward for telling the truth, but at the same...
Becki: I have been doing the timer with my kids, too. Both my kids (DS 15) and DD (12) use it. It really helps because they are in charge and I don't have to...
Thanks Barb and Liz... We pretty much are doing most of these things too. The kids are home at 3 from school, and have until 4 to have a snack, veg out or play...
Becki: Yes, in 3rd grade they're definitely having to be TAUGHT how the assignment notebook works! Glad that teacher took the "hint" when the therapist talked...
LOL – we get an email from my daughter’s resource teacher telling us what homework she has – the email comes before she gets home from school. Some days...
