what was the outcome of this Daniel ?

---

well it actually turns out that she fibbed again, she didnt take it from the girls tray she took it from the teachers desk!!!! i didnt shout at her, i was glad she told the truth (eventually) but dan did go in and tell the teacher. She said she was disapointed and had a word with her about stealing. I told her that admitting wrongs and mistakes makes you a better person and understanding why she is being punished will prevent her doing it in future. Heres hoping that the message gets accross......

Hi Julie, Emily had an ed psych in nursery/reception because it was suspected she might have something like ADHD, to be honest, i am convinced she has but because now she is older she can control aspects of it in certain situations its hard for the doctors to see it. Even tho she has said she gets in trouble everyday at school for fidgetting, talking out of turn, talking when shouldnt be, etc etc. Over the years she has gone from being hper allllll the time to having moments where she can be calmer but still not sit still. She never stops talking, shes stroppy and opositional. At times its like having an arguementative 14yr old inside a 7yr olds body. When she was at nursery and the teacher looked up adhd they said it was like a book had been written about her but we didnt go to the doctors for help until lastyear because of all the problems we have had with euan medically etc it kind of got pushed to the side (as awfull as that sounds). So....(i'm ranting lol) she's been refered to cahms....i shall see what they have to say but i dont hold much hope....

i never stop talking this doesnt mean i have adhd, your daughter will always be emily. its ok to say my child has this n that, at the end of the day we are all a person and not a label, we all display some characteristics of things. everyone is different and unique to themselves.

I strongly disagree with your views on people are people and not a label,so do we ignore everything?
Im sure all the mothers of children with ADHD and children with other conditions such as Autism would really think that was a great attitude to take,im sorry Karen but i 100% disagree with you on this.
You cannot sit back in some cases and accept Oh thats just there personality,Personalitys can get people into trouble and really create issues.
Oh Jack the Ripper he was a nice man it was just his personality....
I think we as parents know our children and anybody with concerns should address them and not be fobbed off with people who think oh there just lively!
What are your views on ADHD Karen?

I have a daughter who is 11 years old who has just been diagnoised with ADD with no H she was first assessed in reception year as having ADHD but i was a parent who was afraid of that label so i chose to ignore it. It was a big mistake several years later my daughter was so far behind at school she has no self esteem thinks she is the worst child ever. She was diagnoised with epilepsy on christmas eve the symptoms that she had i blamed on the ADHD when she shut down i told people she was off at fairy land she did it so often, i truly belived it was part of the ADHD. and as i didnt like to talk about it i did not find out that her shutting down had nothing at all to do with ADHD. However after statementing we have now been told that our daughter has ADD she has out grown the H. I was told that is very common in girls there symptoms are so different to boys, so its worth checking out girls with ADHD. I regret not helping my daughter earlier but i cannot change that now all i can do is my best now, its so hard when there are more than 1 child in the family with special needs.
