[QUOTE="staciemf, post: 125987, member: 4660"] Thanks ladies for your replies. I'm going to look more into mood disorder. It's strange because anytime I tell anyone that knows my daughter that she is ADHD, their immediate reaction is a stunned "REALLY?" No one quite believes it...or "sees" it in her. My daughter is smart, a little too smart for her own good in my opinion. The new school I am considering also has excel programs and a gifted/talented...more options. What really irks me is that her teacher NEVER before mentioned that she was in the lower level of 2nd grade reading. Her report card even says "achieving at expected level" for every category in reading. I think it was just her teacher's knee-jerk reaction...probably a little offended by my suggestion that it was too easy, and probably a little fed up with my daughter and not thinking she was "deserving" to be in a higher grade spelling. So once I found out about her reading difficulties, I immediately asked if she could get extra help and she will now be a part of a reading resource group (I think that's what they call it now). What really ***** is that I feel like my daughter is always going to be a challenge...I just hope we don't always have the same problems every year. It's so tough. I just want to shake her and say "JUST LISTEN AND DO AS YOU ARE TOLD!" She thinks the world is out to get her. But then I look at a woman I know who has triplets, all born premature. They are 3 years old, one is almost blind and one still eats from a feeding tube. Then I feel guilty for feeling bad about my own situation, when in reality, overall I am blessed with a healthy (and difficult) child. Nobody ever warns us that this mommy thing is so tough!! I don't think I can express enough how glad I am to have found this place. [/QUOTE]
