i know i have said it before and i'll probably say it again, but being a mother is sooooo hard...one minute everything is just fine and then you have 1 sick kid and another one causing troubles at school....
emma has the yuckies again with goopy eyes and yucky nose and a very rattly cough that is a little bit in her chest but as of right now no ear infection....let's hope it clear up on its own this time and we can avoid giving her the antiobiotic....
nick was doing great at school - less hitting/pushing/etc and much better behavior at home - listening and following directions....now yesterday he pushed another child into part of the playground structure and the little boy had to have a tooth pulled because it went up into his gums and may have to have another one pulled too if it doesn't go back to normal on its own - luckily they are baby teeth, but seriously....i don't want my kid hurting another child, even by accident....i think it is time to have him evaluated to see what is up, if he is ADD or ADHD or whatever other letter combo might fit him...i don't want to medicate but if i can gain insight into what he is doing and why than that has to be helpful, right??????
i don't know what else to do at this point.....get help and figure it out from there i guess....

It takes a lot of courage as a parent to admit that there may be an issue with one of your children.
There have been several times where parents just won't even think about the fact that they may have a child with ADD or anything else. And, as a teacher, I then deal with the child who is out of control all the time.
Kudos to you for taking the first step. There may be nothing wrong and there may be an issue. And, medication may not be the solution, there may be others.
Keep me posted!
