[QUOTE="jlsanchez08, post: 368153"] Ok, I have been where you are now and have been here for a while. I hate to tell you for your sanity and for the sake of your family, there has got to be some medication for her. I am sorry to tell you that point blank but I have been in denial about medication for my daughter because I knew at a VERY young age that she was "special". I didn't want to medicate her because she was so young but now that she is on medication I would never have her go without it again. It may sound sad but it came down to her being medicated or me being medicated. She was probably two (if not before that) when I knew that she was "special" but I waited until she was almost five before I put her on medication and I was in tears at the Dr's office. She had been in daycare and private Christian schools learning since she was born (since I worked full time) and did not learn a thing and I mean hardly anything at all. Me wanting to avoid puting her on medication only hurt her. She was starting Kindergarten and was clueless, she was behind every single person in her class and it didn't matter that we worked with her at home or that she was being taught well in Pre-K, she did not retain anything because of her ADHD/ODD, she still can't even cut well.
