[QUOTE="Julie SVV, post: 44326, member: 3747"] I can relate to the extremes of behavior; although I don't think difficult child has ever been a total angel even when she is on her medicine; but I do notice with the onset of puberty that things have escalated a bit more, so you are right, that is probably some of it. Is your difficult child on any type of medication right now? My pediatrician writes the prescription for that. I waited a long time until I officially declared her with ADHD with the school system because I didn't want her to walk around with any more labels (she already was bi-racial and adopted with white parents, and in her all white small Catholic school was looked at as different because of that.) However we have moved across town and she will be attending middle school next year in the public school system, and so one of my teacher friends strongly encouraged me to go for the official diagnosis so that she could receive special education resources if we need them. So that's what I've done, and will let you know how all that goes. I hope some of this is helpful to you. Let's keep talking. [/QUOTE]
