[QUOTE="odd&adhd-family, post: 379375"] Like your difficult child, my son did very well in 1st grade, too, with a structured, firm teacher. The other two years, Kindergarden and now 2nd grade, however are another story because the teachers are not always so firm. I wish we could hand pick them. It does appear that with very structured, firm teachers my difficult child does well like yours. However, you can't guarantee that type of teacher every year. With a less firm and structured teacher the behavioral problems become very evident (even the school counselor vouches for this change with the teacher types my son has had). Also, over this past summer in camp he wasn't in a structured, firm environment and the behavioral issues were more evident, too. The school system sounds very uninterested and/or uninformed. Luickly my difficult child's school is working with me and I hope you'll find some success with your school, too. My difficult child (7) was also a top level academic performer, but his defiant behavior has been a huge issue that is most evident without structure. I did pay for psychiatric testing and got the confirmed ADHD with ODD diagnosis from 2 doctors. Since this past summer and the beginning of this year with this new teacher, my difficult child is continually getting worse. Now we are in weekly counseling and considering medications. I also read all of the parenting books you will find people post here. Many are very helpful, but each case is different. What works with my difficult child one day may not work the next. I want to encourage you to stand your ground with the testing and the school. Only you know what is right for your child, and you may just have to stay all over them to get your child what difficult child needs. You are the advocate. [/QUOTE]
