That's great. Counting to 100 by 10s? That is INCREDIBLE for a Kindergartener!

awesome! my son has an IEP as well, and I know any positive comments from his teacher make me so happy.

Thank you so much. I'm so shocked because at home she is still an emotional child. We are working in therapy with her, but at school she is putting all her skills that we are helping her with to great use. So flipping proud of her.

I know her teacher was amazed so she tested her again a few hours later and she counted to 100 by 10's again!

Thanks!

Yes!! In preschool I got phone calls daily..... "Ohhhh, she isn't listening" "Ohhhhhhh, she threw herself down again....." "Mrs.. <insert last name> I think she may have ODD"


My emotions were all over the place....  

kaylee's only behavior issue is caused by her speech.. she get frustrated when she has to keep repeating her self or someone cant understand.. the teacher has taught her to use the word in another sentence or find a word that means the same thing and it seems to help alot

my son is in 2nd grade now. his "issues" started in kindergarten. he turned 5 the day school started. the very first day his teacher told me he was too young and immature. he wanted to learn, but she said he wasnt ready. I said "then why is the deadline so late?" anyway, for the remaining 3 weeks that he went there she either sent notes or called daily telling he he had ADD and wasnt ready. I got tired of her and had him tested. They told me that he did seem the type (they couldnt diagnose him) and said that he might feel more comfortable at a preschool where they were able to handle non-medicated children better (since I refused to medicate). I did that. I pulled him out and let him go to pre-school one more year. he was having a hard time concentrating; I couldnt deny it. so i had his doctor test him and he diagnosed him with ADD, and we started him on low-dose meds. they worked well.when he went to kindergarten the next year I didnt have an IEP in place for him and he struggled. his teacher reccommended resource for 1st grade. when we moved that summer I had him tested again, thoroughly this time with an IQ test as well. This time he was diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety. he received his IEP and things got better. Now he is in yet another school, still on an IEP, and his new teacher sends home such great reports.

That is awesome! I'm glad he is thriving in this current situation.

DD's psychiatrist is testing her for ADD, but I'm not sure that she has it. She has a lot of trouble concentrating, but if you stay on top of her and keep her focused she is great.

Anxiety is awful. Is your son on anxiety meds?

Aw, it's always nice to have a teacher who is understanding and helpful. Is she in ST or anything?

no, because he is on so many for his ADHD, and they say his meds caused it...

Oh! I understand. I just wondered what your thoughts were on that. We are still unsure if we are going to medicate for the anxiety or allow her to deal with it until she is older...

80% (ish) she can use her coping skills. That other 20% she is just down right scared to death and screams/cries/kicks/ect... so sad.
