Having a Mommy Meltdown
I could quite easily turn this into a novel...but I'll try to keep it short. Today, I got a call from my son's school. He's on an in-school suspension because he threw stones at a student the Principal says he's been bullying.
First, I'd like to say that my son (9) and the girl he's apparenly bullying (11) have been friends since he started school. This behaviour is completely uncharacteristic of him. However, for the last 4 schooldays there have been escalating problems. There are many other situations they could have told me about that I wouldn't have questioned.
My son is ADHD, (diagnosed at age 6) and takes Ritalin (10 mg, 3 times per day). He's been tested for a learning disability but the results were inconclusive because his ADHD is not under control. I go today to have a second referral for diagnosis of ADHD today, but I am now wondering if there isn't some other complicating factor that's causing this latest behaviour problem.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
