[QUOTE="Overit, post: 708889, member: 21359"] Hi Alana, I am currently going through a stage with my 10yr old daughter which sounds a little like yours. She was kicked out of a few preschools due to restless behaviour, one of the preschools had told me to get her head checked which made me quite angry because it only seemed to happen to a certain quiet teacher which I'd say couldn't cope with her behaviour. I pulled her out as she was no longer welcome then tried home daycare of only 5 kids but they couldn't handle her either. I couldn't get much evaluation done because of her age telling me she just wasn't disciplined at home which also broke me down a bit. I had left a very violent relationship with her father at 4yrs old expecting a lot of her behaviour was steming from life at home. Eventually I found 1preschool that was great and at one stage told me she seemed to be high end spectrum autistic. She ended up going to school at 6 and then the troubles escalated. She locked kids into the classroom, pushed the teacher over trying to get out the door, left the school grounds unannounced a couple of times and headed home, the school asked me to get her evaluated as councelling wasn't helping, she eventually was diagnosed adhd, odd, add and had a problem with authority figures. Her medication seems to work well with keeping it together at school although she has social problems still and is hard to manage. A month ago she created a huge drama at home threatening suicide and getting angry then back flipping into depression, breaking into the teachers computer etc etc etc, I ended up at school with an interview with teacher, councellor, and principle as the school is great and really want to help which I'm so happy for.
