[QUOTE="byebyemind, post: 261632, member: 7180"] Hi again. To answer the questions neither child has ever had a neuropsychologist evaluation. I had my sons teacher fill out some forms last year from my pediatrician but nothing really stood out on the forms. I do notice that when he gets into a big story his eye contact is poor. But socially he seems to do well. Plays with neighborhood kids daily after school and has a few friends from school that he plays with outside of school. He has also been in sports and has been fine with the kids. No obsessions or anything. He just lacks much patience. Emotionally he seems the same as all the other kids his age. And when he was younger he was always ahead of everyone else in school. Was not till 3rd grade he started struggling a bit. Part of it was due to the material getting more challanging and not coming so easy to him. Part of it was he actually had to sit and study. And part of it was he had an awful teacher who had no patience and thought kids should sit still for 7 hours a day without talking and just watch her write on the board. As for my stepdaughte she does have an IEP. She gets help from resource teachers. She does not have a large quantity of homework..she just takes forever to do it. She will sit and think about the sentence she is going to write for like 10 minutes before writing it! This year it is getting better though. First year she is able to sit and do homework by herself. I only have to monitor to get her moving quicker, not help her with it all. When I first came into the picture she was in 2nd grade and her teachers were saying she daydreamed a lot. Well the girl could not read..what else did they expect her to do?? Nobody was addressing that and the teachers were filling out her goals as met at 80% accuracy on them all!! I told my husband (who was my boyfriend at the time) that I smelled a rat. He kept saying how nice they all were and how much they were working with her...bla bla bla. I figured his daughter---he can deal with it then. After marriage we bought a house together in a new school district and the teachers there confirmed what I had been saying...the old school was just passing her along! husband felt awful...but he was not an expert. He was trusting the people who were supposed to be. In the meantime I kept working with her at home like crazy on the basics and she is only about a year behind now...where as she was almost 3 years behind when we met. So that is where we are all at. As for our youngest, he is wonderful. The most well behaved of them all! And he loves school and does wonderfully. [/QUOTE]
