[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 458758, member: 1514"] You say "probably". Do you actually have a diagnosis for him? If not, then you are basically wasting your time and theirs because you cant really expect them to handle him as an identified special needs child if he doesnt actually have a diagnosis because it could all be a coddling mother who just wants her precious son to be spoiled. Not saying that is what you are doing but I am sure that many parents have done that especially when their little ones first hit school. My middle son was diagnosed ADHD at 4 years old as was my youngest son so yes it can be done. And yes they can be medicated at that age. I believe this year is your sons Kindergarten year because last year he was in pre-k. Is he 5 now? Im assuming childminder is some sort of daycare. If you really think he is ADHD and you cant get him medicated you could try your own experiment to see if this helps any. If he likes mountain dew, then have him drink a can of it before school every day for a week but dont tell the teachers and see if they give you any different feedback, especially about his behavior in the mornings. The caffeine in the soda should calm him down enough to listen and work until it wears off. And contrary to what people will tell you, sugar does not cause hyperactivity. It has been studied and put to rest. [/QUOTE]
