[QUOTE="tracyinks, post: 370512"] Hello all....... I found this forumn and actually just the opening paragraph on the main site brought tears to my eyes...... and the "soft place to land for the battle weary parent" really hit home with me. Short version.. my son (who is my life) turns 7 in a couple weeks....... He is ADHD but SEVERE ODD. One set of docs said he was bipolar but the new set say no to that........ Lets see........... my battle began when he was kicked out of his first daycare at 2.5 years old for biting...... there were 4 others after that, then Special Education preschool with an IEP BEFORE Kindergarten...... nothing wrong with his learning ability, but has been and continues to be all behaviour....... I get so tired talking about it and his behaviour that I almost don't feel like writing about it... I'm at my wits end. They (school) are ready to put him in an alternative school if he doesn't shape up. The principal has our cell phone numbers programed in her personal cell. They wouldn't allow him to even attempt summer school so we contacted a specialized camp recommended by his therepist. He is currently in the second session. The camp is good, but even there we have very few "good" days.... My fear is that he will not make it very far in 2nd grade before they start talking alternative school, and quite frankly I don't want his peer group to be troubled kids, however I am the main wage earner and if I don't work we don't make ends meet.. plus.......... DO I EVEN HAVE THE PATIENCE to homeschool my child????? husband is new to all this...... he is very very supportive, but he is just as clueless as to what to do. Oh and my child is EXTREMELY social, he is a master manipulator, very charming, cute, and huggable, total outdoor kid........... He is truly my miracle child and I thank God every day for him....... but I am completely at my wits end..... [/QUOTE]
