There is no way in hell I would medicate my young child into a zombie to make them easier for the teacher to deal with. I don't know about your school district, but here, the school gets more $ $ $ the more students they have with "disabilities". I seriously hear this all the time from parents...it's happening more and more frequently. Teachers and schools pushing for an ADD diagnosis with kids.
You know your kids. Do they need more structure and discipline? Is he jumping off of walls and causing terror everywhere he goes?
Before you put him on meds, get him tested, get 2nd and 3rd opinions. Not by a family doctor...go to a pysch who specializes in learning disabilites. GP's love to write scripts for everything. Change his diet. Do your research. Do whatever you can to prevent medicating them.

I understand rules and discipline and punishments. I am on board with giving consequences and the child gets punishment for bad behavior.
I disagree with medicating after 4 weeks of kindergarten.
Wouldn't it be nice to live in a society where I didnt have to work and I could homeschool? Actually..nah, I think it's good for kids to socialize.

Btw, why should teachers waste a valuable amount of time (meant for lessons) telling 1 bratty child to be quiet? She has other kids to attend to & her own work to do. It's also unfair to the other kids, their learning time is being delayed.. learning time which their parents are paying for. Other children's education shouldn't suffer over 1 unruly child, sorry.
If he truly has a learning disability, which they're obviously pushing for, they HAVE to make accomodations for him...whether he's medicated or not.click to expand

In your way of thinking then only the very brightest children deserve an education. What about the child that doesn't understand after the teacher explains her lesson the first time and she has to go over it again? The other children have to wait.
I guess that child should just be kicked out cuz they are holding up class.
People are different. This world is made up of all kinds and everyone deserves patience and understanding. People don't all learn the same way.
Some have longer attention spans, some learn better hands on, or visually.
The idea that only the "perfect" child deserves to be in school is crazy.
My oldest is that "perfect" child. And sure, that is easier! But it's not everyone.click to expand

Screaming like a banshee? What picture do u have in your head.
Like if the kid next to him steals his crayon, he yells.. Rather than calmly and professionally choosing a different crayon like a wuss, he demands his crayon back..loudly.
I suppose the little theif kid should be kicked outta school too. They are 5 year olds!


Posted by SugarAriesDon't they have separate classes or schools that deal only with that?
You're obviously pretty clueless on the topic. Are you a parent or do you even know any young children? lol.
There are different learning style s. Not everyone is an auditory learning. They don't learn by listening, no matter how hard they try. They need to see it or read it themselves.
He should not be yelling at other kids or anyone for that matter...true. He should have learned that at home. But that doesn't mean he should be locked in a cage and segregated from other kids.click to expand

He has manners. Says please, thank you, yes ma'am, no sir.
But at home, there is never an occasion where he HAS to sit for hours without getting up. And older siblings naturally "pick" on younger ones. He defends himself.
No, I don't encourage screaming.. But parenting isn't perfect, and I believe this is a stage..he'll learn..get through it.. "Conform" if you will. It's a process. Kids take a lot of patience.
Im not medicating him so he is easier to "deal" with. He needs to learn the consequences naturally and figure out how to act at school. It obviously will take more than 4 weeks.

Oh my, WC-- it's Kindergarten.
And while I agree with your last statement, I think "unruly" isn't necessarily the reason for medication.
I worked with kids for years-- and the most unruly among them usually learned differently than the other kids.
They were VERY bright-- they just learned actively/hands-on, and had trouble sitting still.
Also, some kids are younger than others when first entering school, which may have a lot to do with it.
When they're that little, six months can make a huge difference. 🙂
@Pisceslove-- have you considered Montessori?

I'm a mother of 4 boys. I have a meeting with the school in 2 hours about my kindergartener's behavior. I fear they will pressure me to medicate him because they did the same thing a few years ago with my other son.
I tried two different medicines. The first made my son depressed and sleepy. In 3rd grade he said "mom, it just feels like something is missing in my life." I took him off that shit!
The 2nd didnt seem to do anything but cost an arm and a leg. Quit that too.
Now, my kindergartener is throwing temper tantrums and yells at the other kids when he doesn't get his way. But understand, he has 3 brothers and has never been to daycare. School is very new to him and he is used to standing up for himself with older siblings. He is a very sweet boy, however, and is good at sharing especially with his baby brother.
I'm just irritated with the school! Not everyone is a robot that can sit at a desk and act perfect. He is a boy..with spunk..and energy and a personality overflowing!
Thoughts? Experience?
If you are interested, he is a July 1st baby.

Pardon me WC, but there is no such thing as a class of ten well-behaved kids and ONE unruly child. There are only different types of "unruly".
Unless the kid is diagnosed with something and requires special attention or needs to attend some sort of "special peoples" class due to his disorder, being obnoctious is a part of growing up and also a part of the teacher profession dealing with different types of kids... or shall I say, personalities. School is not only about learning history and math, it's also about learning interaction with others and because all people are different, your kid is getting a more valuable lesson than fractions.

Posted by PiscesLoves
This is definately the largest structured environment he has been exposed to. Class of 25 kids.


Posted by enfant_terrible
But we can agree on one thing, WC-- parents are usually the real children. I can't f'cking stand parents! Especially those parents who side with their kids no matter what they do.
When I got into a fight as a kid my main concern was whether or not my parents would find about it, because no matter who started it I would be in big trouble. But parents these days will get into a fight with eachother over their stupid kids. We've actually had a case where the father beat the shit out of both the other kids parents and is serving a four year sentence for battery. lol

The teacher also informed me that my child isn't the worst one in the class. Sounds like she has a very hard class to deal with.

Really? Maybe she was afraid you'd tell your child & she be yelled at by him tomorrow. LOL! Okay I'm joking

I could care less. I'm not auditioning for a sitcom here & it was damn funny to ME, didn't you see me "LOL"?
I think you'll find it's "I couldn't care less" unless you actually meant "I could care less" which means you do actually care..
& oh, ok. you have a great sense of humour 🙂
i hope my sarcasm is noticeable.click to expand

I also dated someone who is July 1st bday and was diagnosed with ADHD. Oddly enough, he grew out of it and was able to get off meds as he matured. Go figure. Smh.

Pfffft, "grew out of it". That's my point exactly!
I wonder how many of these "diagnosis" are just pop-science make-belief.click to expand

I agree with sugarfoot...that's a lot of mental energy going on up there paired with cancer traits. He will feel slighted very easily and act out when it happens.
Hell, your lucky he just yelled at the kid who took his crayon.....I would have kept quiet, collected all the crayons and snapped them all in half.....just to prove a point. If I would have gotten in trouble for it....I would have stole one each day until they were all gone and NOBODY could colour! 😈
but seriously, he likes to talk, he likes to ask questions, he likes to please.....he doesn't like people who can't give him clear directions and can't stick to them. If the teacher makes concessions for another child, he'll expect her to make them for him or he'll take it personally. He's probably not going to be disrespectful to the teachers, but he will compete with the other students because I'm sure he has much more to say about a lot of everything and expects you to hear him out.
he needs lots of stimulation....projects....but not real long drawn out ones. Smaller ones that challenge his mind. Puzzles, riddles, things he can figure out. He can work within a team but he probably likes doing the "figuring out" all on his own.
I'm sure he's a rascal with his brothers, that moon can be quite the jester and will antagonize for fun.....and to get mom's attention (cancer placements)click to expand

Your opinion of me is not needed, I'm just glad you're done playing Tarzan, swinging on my labia over such a stupid thing that had nothing to do with you. Btw, I didn't know that you were female..I thought you were a guy for some reason.
It may not be needed but that doesn't make a difference to me, i'll still state my opinion.
I wont be replying to anymore of your posts in this thread. I'm off for dinner. 🙂click to expand

Just seems to me that everyone is so quick to label kids and pass out prescriptions.

Yeah, just like you !!!
You were fucking quick to make an assumption .... that had zero truth to it.
You had no fucking clue what that teacher was going to say to you .... but, you sure were quick to come in here and raise hell about something that was all in your goddam head.
You labeled without any factsclick to expand
