[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 85540"] difficult child said he doesn't want to feel like every class will be a fight. He said he knows everyday that when he gets to class they will kick him out. He says he feels bored. Says he can't sit that long, his back hurts. Said he wants to do better in school without the teachers always yelling at him or kicking him out. Topomax - Dr. said he is on a very low dose and this should not affect him that way. He is not stupid. He passes all the test with good grades, A's or B's. it is the daily work and homework that he just doesn't do. Teachers have even commented that at times he doesn't look like he is paying attention but when they call on him he knows the answer. As for the Concerta, psychiatrist said to give him one pill for a week, then increase to two pills for the second week and return to visit him. He is on 27mg's I believe. Maybe I will see how it goes and just keep him on one pill a day. Mood stabalizer - he has been on Lamictal for mood stabalizer for 3 years. He was never tested for anything. Dr. saw how he was when we were there, heard me talk of things that were going on. School counselor also attended the first meeting with me three years ago. He has since become much better. We do not see the anger we once did. Seems more to be frustration. Which then leads to more frustration between both difficult child and teacher. Teachers don't seem to want to deal with him. He doesn't understand something, he wants help..teachers won't take the time to help. Then he gets frustrated and says he's not doing it. Then teachers kick him out. in my opinion - if they would quit kicking him out maybe he would learn what he was suppose to do and wouldn't be frustrated. He understand the concepts as a whole, but doesn't understand how the daily assignments are to be done. If he doesn't do them the correct way, they hand them back. When he asks for help, they don't have time. Just a vicious circle. [/QUOTE]
