Thank you for the book ideas-I have heard of "the explosive child". I agree about school....my husband and my family don't really see my views on the school thing....I am the one that checks his papers every day and is in contact with his teacher and helps with homework. He gets by because he is bright. Plain and simple. But his teachers have given him a lot of support. They had to read directions to him more than once on papers, and give him extra help. It wasn't that he couldn't do the work, he just didn't know where/how to start and would then just rush through it and get it wrong. Any paper with more than one direction (like underline the verb and circle the noun) he just couldn't do because he couldn't make sense of the directions. So-I plan to talk to his 3rd grade teacher before school starts and I hope and pray she is supportive and will communicate well with me. And I hope she is strict! I hope the Vyvanse helps him this year-we will find out.
