[QUOTE="JamieM, post: 151637, member: 5189"] Thanks for the support. I will def. get the book and read it. Just to tell you a little more about my boy..he makes 3's & 2's..equivalent to what would be A's & B's in school. The only issues he has as far as school work goes is his writing is horrible at times. He can write neatly if he tries. He also sometimes daydreams and will not focus on morning work. It takes him 50 min to write one sentence. Our main concern is his behavior. I know if we arent able to get that in control then it can lead to delays. He does have speech issues, but he has been in speech since kindergarten and those are diminishing. At home it is difficult to get him to settle down for homework. He argues with adults, defiant and doesnt comply with requests, has tantrums, easily frustrated, annoys others on purpose, when he is angry he says he hates me or his dad. He knows what consequences of his misbehavior will be ahead of time and tries to bargain with us after he has misbehaved. To answer your questions Midwestmom, he had typical early childhood development..I did notice he was a little fussier and harder to get down at night, but I dont know if this had anything to do with ADHD.
