school update

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to fill everyone in on my new life, and my son’s. School has been back in for 4 weeks, and I have to say since putting Jeremy on Aderall XR his life has turned a 180 here. It is so wonderful to hear him come home and talk about what he did in school.
He walks in the door from daycare, and sets right down and gets his homework done before dinner is even ready. For the past 2 years it had been a struggle to get him to do homework, but now he even beats me to the table to get it done. Most times he does it at daycare, and he always wants me to check it and make sure it is right. Seeing all the smilies, and stars on his school work is such a blessing. His teacher found a way to let me know how things are going without getting him upset. When he has a very, very good day she draws a little smiley with a halo above it in his agenda.
I think we finally found a teacher that is working well with him, and he enjoys working with. In school they us a color code for behavior. For the first time in 2 years Jeremy is still on green, and he is very head strong to keep it there.
In the 2 months of his new medication, I have seen my son mature. He has gotten out of his babyfied ways, and doesn’t cry over every little thing. This is a big plus for him, and he knows it. Daycare has always been a struggle for him. Jeremy is small for his age(7 years) and gets picked on quite a bit. Kids can be so crule to each other. Jeremy was picked on (name calling, pushed around, bullied) by just about every child in the daycare. His down fall was crying, they called him a baby, then he would throw his famous temper tanturm. This just set him up to be picked on even more. He had very few friends, because of his behavior there. Now days everyone likes him, he gets invited to Birthday parties, and outings. And most of all the name calling has stopped.
I spoke with the head of daycare just yesterday, and she is so pleased with jeremy. She too has seen him mature over the past 2 months. She stressed how polite he was when asking for something, and recieving it. He is always willing to help others do their homework (math) this child loves math. Reading and spelling has become a big plus for him now. before you couldn’t get him to spell a single word for you, and reading is so much fun. He loves it and he understands what he is reading for the first time.
I want to thank everyone here for the sopport I got, when I first came here trying to understand what was wrong with my son. I am so glad I over rode his father’s vote and got him the help he needed. Now my husband praises him for his work, instead of screaming and yelling at him every night. Thank you so much.
