My son is going to be 7 at the end of the month. He was diagnosed at the age of 3 1/2 with ADHD. He is Very Hyperactive. He used to love school and now I have rows with him about going to school. This has started since thanksgiving. I have spoken with the teacher, and tried to find out what had changed. He now says that everything is hard. He is in the first grade and I do not think he is getting the basics that he needs. I have a hard time getting him to do homework. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks! :)

Re: Help.. I need some advice
Many people have found that drugging their children has achieved good results in shutting them up.
Beth, I know where you are coming from!! My son is ADHD and has a learning disability in written expression and a processing disorder. I don’t think you have enough info yet to know what the problem is. It could be he has a LD. If you think he does you will need to have some testing done. Is he quick to learn and what is his learning style?Maybe the teacher isn’t getting through to him. Maybe there are too many distractions in the classroom. You might want to go to school and observe for a day. That could give you some clues about what might be wrong. Hang in there. It will be a LONG, TOUGH, road!! Jan :cry:
