Both of my daughters were diagnosied w/ ADHD about 5 years ago...However, my oldest daughter doesnt seem to be really affected at this point (age 12)....but my youngest (age 11) has continous problems associated with this disorder. I am interested in any advice and/or suggestions anyone has.. My baby is having problems in school focusing and staying on tasks...her previous teachers have been willing to work w/ both us to accommodate her but her teacher this year (5th grade) isnt trying to help her....he knows her condition yet he writes my baby up for everything!...if she is out of her seat, he writes her up, if she doesnt follow directions he writes her up, etc...he doesnt give her a second chance on any thing...he doesnt try to redirect her he just calls me and writes her up...he punishes her in class and embarasses her...I've talked to him several times but he isnt getting it...She is on Adderall XR and I'm thinking of changes the dosage however, I am concerned w/ side effects...Can anyone assist me w/ the school problems? What do I do about the teacher?..I've requested that she be moved into another class however, that hasnt taken place yet....I never try to make excuses for my child's behaviour but I do try to explain why she behaves a certain way but this one teacher doesnt seem to care...his motto is they are in 5th grade and needs to act as such...her grades are suffering b/c she cant concentrate in class and he doesnt care....she gets zeros on homework b/c she forgets her books.....I am not at school so I cant remind her and when she comes home its too late.....sorry so long but I am frustrated....Thanks anyone!
