[QUOTE="medinstr, post: 103665, member: 4394"] My difficult child was originally diagnosis by his pediatrician, then went to a child psychiatrist. He went to therapy and we have done the whole star charts...His academic progress at school is ecellent he is in 6th grade and reading at a 9th grade level and all other grades are A's. He has no other speech or developemental delays. His behavior at school is jsut interupting class, shouting out, cannot sit still and has been like this since preschool. At home he gets more of a temper and argues. He has had no other evaluation except to rule out bipolar which they said he is not. Besides this he is otherwise in good health has seasonal allergies and asthma but is growing out of it. That is part of what makes it so hard, me dealing with these problems. The schools haev not been helpful at all. He finally has a 504 this year but the teachers only half the time obide by it. He is 12 and that is such an impressionable year I want and need some help now before things get worse, I dont want him into drugs or slcohol or premature sex or trouble with the law that could come to any child at the teen years let alone one who is predisposed to problems. I have also been reading alot about omega 3 and girlfriend/cf diet going to try that what can it hurt. He was on straterra and got tics, was on concerta with no relief and now the adderall with also very little relief. The zoloft does seem to help with the outbursts a little but I still feel there has to be something else to help my child. I dont understand why this has to be constant fight for children with mental disorders. If our childern had "medical" disorders there would be help. [/QUOTE]
