[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 457482, member: 11791"] Red flag #1: "I can't do this". Schools take this as "attitude". In fact there could be dozens of reasons why in fact he cannot do what is being asked of him. As a parent - time to go hunting for more dxes. What else is happening? Why? Examples: motor skills issues, sensory issues (overwhelmed, so can't focus), auditory issues (not "getting" verbal instruction so lost in class), learning disabilities, etc. etc. etc. Red flag #2: medications. If the medications are not working as expected, then maybe they are treating for the wrong diagnosis. The older these kids get, the bigger the gap grows between school expectations and their ability to perform. This, combined with the insensitivity/cruelty of most kids who tend to at least exclude those who are different... and its no wonder our kids end up with self-esteem problems and mood disorders. Can you provide more details on the mood disorders? depression? anxiety? something else? [/QUOTE]
