[QUOTE="DDD, post: 123878, member: 35"] I understand your feelings. My daughter is in her 40's and simply can't get a handle on parenting with-o chaos. She has three ADHD children. The lst has lived with us and had love, order, encouragement, gifted education, exposure and then excellence in sports and social life. He began stimulant medication in first grade and continued until his teens. The teen years hit hard due to circumstances that we hoped stability & love would overcome...they didn't. The 2nd lived in her chaos until he was in 6th grade and then joined us full time. He has emotional scars from the early years but with medication he is doing well academically but not socially. The 3rd is as hyper as my daughter was. She has been kicked out of three preschools and now two afterschool programs. My daughter delayed medicating her and, I believe, does not have the right medications now. As a young Mother I knew my daughter was not able to function in a consistent way. Many people thought I was wrong. Help was not very easy to find or very effective in the l960's. Like many of these Moms, I had criticism from my family. Now as a Grandmother involved with these children daily for twenty years...I know that my daughter's choices have impacted all three children. It is a complex issue and I don't envy you. The school system may end up being the answer to identifying her issues in the long run. Sending supportive thoughts your way. DDD [/QUOTE]
