[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 580205, member: 1514"] Im wondering if you have given them any of the excellent books and articles on managing an ADHD child in classrooms? If not, I would. I dont think it is entirely these people's fault that they dont know how to manage a child that is different. I also wonder if you are confusing punishment for discipline. I think all children need discipline and boundaries. They are going to test boundaries and need discipline when they step over those boundaries. It is how they learn. From what you have posted I dont get the feeling that you dole out much in the way of either. That just leaves J confused when the rest of the world does dole out discipline to him and that is the rest of the world works. He isnt special to anyone else. You will never convince the world at large that they need to give him a free pass to do as he pleases just because he is ADHD and that really does him a disservice to allow him to think it does from a very young age. He will learn to use that as a crutch. He may have a harder time than some kids but he can learn. At any school he will be expected to follow basic rules. [/QUOTE]
