[QUOTE="mom_to_3, post: 207896, member: 30"] I was just thinking...............and thought I'd share a recent experience. Our 4yr. old grandson has been living with us for the last 4 months or so. Yes, he has issues. I'm a seasoned mother and now grandmother, his mother taught me well. Our grandson has medicaid for insurance so he is limited where he can be seen. He is seeing a psychiatrist and a therapist. Our grandson is for sure ADD and has huge boundary issues in almost every sense of the word. He was too much for both the psychiatrist and therapist. They both drew lines on the floor and told him not to come any closer and he had the attention span of a gnat! I did not discipline or reign him in at all because I wanted them to see the "real" him in all his glory. They did get to see the "real" him. I thought both the psychiatrist and the therapist are good, but you know what? Even after me telling them the problems our grandson was having and them witnessing / experiencing it, the psychiatrist would not rx anything until she got a report from his teacher. GRRRRR! I'm guessing it's part of the protocol these days???? So don't feel so disheartened that your pediatrician dr. didn't act on your concerns. Get all your ammo lined up and lay it on them! [/QUOTE]
