My daughter came home from school today telling me none of the other children wanted to play with her my heart breaks when she tells me that, Its all ways the same, she had a half term week, she went back to school the first week every thing seemed ok second week back no friends then the other children wil start to push and shove her, of course with out thinking she wil retaliate and guess who gets the blame my daughter. strange how parents of adhd children can predict what happens next. but for some unknown reason the schools cant see it does any one else feel like this? ↓

That sounds just like my son, some days I feel so bad for him that I want to go to school with him to protect him. I know exactley how you feel, and I'm sorry I wish there was an easy answer ↑

I had the same problem with my daughter. Her teacher and I had alot of communication her kindergarten year. It broke my heart every night when she came home crying noone liked her and she physically made herself sick in the morning to get out of going to school. Anyhow, her teacher and I came to the conclusion after spending alot of free play time in the classroom observing. She didn't have friends because she flitted around the classroom so much she didn't ever actually play, she never finished a game with anyone, took away things when she wanted them but didn't keep them for very long. It was really hard and heartbreaking to watch this. It was the breaking point for me when her ADHD made her stand out in a room full of kids as the one who just couldn't sit still. Is your daughter on meds? [email protected] ↑

Reading this posting was like reading my own thoughts. I just thought maybe I was being paranoid. I always try to observe other children to compare my son too and to me it always seems as if he's pretty much doing the same thing the other kids are doing of course with a few exceptions. My son is very loud and impulsive. Therefore, since he's loud he always brings attention to himself so if though he's not the only one engaged in that activitiy he is the only one who gets in trouble. It's hard because we try to explain to him that he gets himself in a situation of being pointed out by being so loud but it seems as if he really can't help it. The other part is it seems as if other parents and teachers feel since he does have ADHD they need to help me discipline him. I don't need the help. Hell half the time we're always getting after him he doesn't need anymore discipline. ↑
