Just tell me what to do.
Back in that place again. A much brighter spot than last year at this time, but still the same questions. Jack has been adjusting to first grade. According to all accounts he is doing well. His TSS worker reports that he is easily distracted, disorganized and has a hard time concentrating. BUT... He is much more social, has been interacting with the other children and his actual WORK is above average. So we have a very smart child that cant sit still long enough to do his work. His work is messy, but correct. He speaks out of turn, interrupts and has difficulty staying on task. Now here is the question of the ages.... To medicate or not. We have been down this road before. We tried stimulants once before and he was moody and started grinding his teeth. That was 18 months ago. Now we meet with the Dr again tomorrow. After our visit to Philadelphia this summer they suggested a stimulant for first grade. Here we are. I truly hate to do this....
