[QUOTE="sadtiredconfused, post: 338676, member: 8885"] I'm not sure if he could earn it through good behavior or not. That's something maybe I can e-mail the teacher about. Thanks for the idea! My son was tested both through the school and through a private therapist(licensed psychologist) and both sets of testing showed him to be ODD/possibly ADD but those symptoms overlap alot and I believe and the therapist does too the more time she spends with him that it is ODD that is his biggest problem. He has been seeing a therapist at this group since last April, so maybe about 9 months. The psychiatrist there prescribed him Straterra and I don't know the dosage off the top of my head and he isn't on it anymore. He tried it for 6 weeks and it had no impact on him one way or the other. Right now, just this week, we started giving him Omega 3 vitamins because I read that they could be helpful in children as a mood stabilizer. It's too early to tell if they will make a difference or not but he loves taking them and says he hopes they help him not be so mad. lol I figure they will only make him healthier if nothing else and at least he doesn't fight me over taking those. I hope I answered all the questions, if not, just ask, I'll be on and off most of the day! [/QUOTE]
