[QUOTE="Malika, post: 575428, member: 11227"] Maybe I've got this wrong (not unlikely :) ) but in my thinking this is a KEY time because J is learning to read... therefore having another year to consolidate his slower pace of learning than his peers at this stage makes sense to me. Once you can read properly... well, the world's your oyster, isn't it? J's problems at school are getting "worse". Up to now it's been said that teachers don't think he can be ADHD because he concentrates so well. Now, apparently, he doesn't... presumably because everything is harder and more boring to him? Nonetheless, his moving at school is NOTHING like his moving at home where he careers round and round, spinning off the sofas, swinging off the staircase, etc, etc. Except when he's calmly playing with his toys, listening to a story or whatever. If he is to stay in the conventional school system, medication will probably be a sine qua non... the philosophical problem raises its head. Thing is, he really doesn't want to go anywhere else. Children do adapt though, with a bit of time. [/QUOTE]
