I just joined today and I am not quite sure how to begin. my daughter is 9 and will turn 10 next week. we have been dealing with behaviorial issues since she was 2. the terrible 2's led into 3, 4 and beyond. we found out when she was in kindergarten that she had learning issue. she was evaluated and we found that she has a disconnect between what she hears and what she writes, she still has limited writing abilities. she is a grat reader. we went to her pediatrician sho referred us to a child neurologst. after testing it was determined that she has add and odd. she currently takes daytran 20 mg patch since she is unable to swallow a pill. things were going along smoothly until after the easter break. she is constanlty being defiant with her gym teacher, lunch room monitor, bus driver but up until now her teacher and Special Education teacher have been her allies. but yesterday she had a melt down with her teacher when the teracher asked her join in on the group for social studies she refused as she has been all week when the teacher borrowed her book she stormed to the middle of the group and took the boojk away. we see a therapist every other week as family therapy. i am reaching my breaking point.
i wish there were medications to give her to help we adopted my daughter at 3 days old we think there may have been crack use but tests at birth showed that she was not addicted, my husband was injured at work and is delaing with his own depression and main mangmt which does not give him alot of patience. i commute 1 hour each way to work and i am the only calm one in the house
Any helpful hints will help
