I think I may be in denial because I already have one child with ADD (a 16-year-old daughter). But I see my son doing a lot of the same things she did at his age. First of all his grades have been going steadily downhill for a couple of years. At first I blamed it on the private Catholic school he was attending: tons of homework, tough grading scale, etc., etc. This year I switched him to another private school. While they have less homework it is still an academically challenging school.

I have been surfing this site and reading a lot of the posts. His handwriting, like some others have mentioned about their children, is atrocious. Doing homework at night is a nightmare! What should only take about an hour to do turns into 2 - 3 hours. Also, his teacher is complaining that he is talking too much in class. Should I get him evaluated by a child psychologist? I hate to think I might have another child with ADHD. I am really struggling with my daughter who is not doing well in school either

Help!!!
