AUTHOR: donnatood
Thanks for you feedback. My only concern with your son is that I've been told that diagnosing ADD/ADHD can't really be done until 1st-3rd grades. I had a psychologist evaluate my son in preschool and she was adament that my son does not have ADD nor any form of hyperactivity. I'm not so sure, but the school says "we have wait". We had our SST (student study team) meeting today and it was very positive. They are looking at it as an intervention at this point. I am seeking professional help for him outside the school. I hope to establish a routine of psychologist appts for him - maybe that might help him realize why he does what he does and learn to stop himself before he does it. I too anticipate the daily school report! I'm to the point that I've asked my husband not to call me at work bcuz I get too upset when he's had a bad day. We are going to start an instant reward system for him - where he gets small rewards daily and bigger rewards weekly/monthly. The school staff reiterated that the reward chart needs to spelled out and always visible for him to see and to only put good behavior on the chart. So, nothing for bad behavior, something for good behavior. I'm axious to see how it works...good luck to you too as well! :-) I understand that reading and writing backwards "sometimes" is normal in kindergarten. I also have issues with the principal and her severity of discipline. We'll see how it plays out...she did a lot of interrupting us at our meeting this morning!
