That's great! I certainly think that will help him get the amount of attention he needs without the distraction of dozens of other children. Prayers your way that things get easier for you!@bugmama

Thank you @reneechristine

No I have alooooot going on too but nothing like you are going through. God bless you lovie. Keep your head up and just keep reminding yourself that it can't be this way forever, continue being the strong woman you definitely seem to be. 💜

Thank you @mamix3_ I will definitely be praying for you as well.

Thank you so much @angelao777 I got him into a private school that has class sizes of 10 kids per teacher so I'm hoping that will help and they are one of the only private Christian schools that if the child has special needs they will accommodate the needs of the child with their own individual learning plan to keep them up with to par with the other children grade level wise.

my 5 yr old is a handle full. he can't sit still for 2 minutes. he's all over the place can't hear door bell because he's at the door. walks into neighbors house like he owns it she loves him but I hate the fact that she doesn't believe I should discipline him when he does it because she against spankings foh. I sit in my room and cry at times because he's a handful. never stays quiet always has a response and is heavy handed when he plays. to fall asleep his ped. actually put him on 1mg melatonin because if not he'd be up to 3 4 even 5 am and up at 7 with energy for 24 more hours. but in other people's houses and school he's a saint. I'm up at 445 am every day and can't get to be till after 10 because if I give him melatonin earlier hell be up at 3 am. so I feel ur pain. I'll be praying for u and ur family

I went through the same thing with my son around the same age (4-5). He was too smart for his age and the school wanted him on adhd meds. They ended up giving him first grade work and it helped his behavior at school do a 360. At home we went through the county mental health dept and paid to take classes for parents with ADHD. That helped me and my husband come up with ways to work with him at home. We also consulted with the county psychiatrist but all they could tell us was that he's mastered manipulation and was too smart for his own good. I swore he was bipolar too because his mood was so inconsistent but doctors refused to label him at that age. What will help when your son starts school is having an iep done. It kept my son from being sent home everyday ( because he would go into school and say something to get thrown out). Thank goodness mine grew out of the behavior, he's 14 now and still has special Ed consult for his adhd ( they have it listed as other health impairment ) and for emotional disability ( because he still exhibits depression on occasion). I know what it's like though, I actually got my BS in Psychology and took child development courses to try to better understand my son because I was at my wits end. If you ever need someone to talk to I'm here :)

Thank you @mommachick2016

hang in there momma my 5 year old has ADHD and I got him counseling through the child guidance in my area because we became overwhelmed

Yes but every doctor I talk to wants their school to recommend it.

Have you thought about putting him in counseling?

@morganmommy79, that's how I felt with my husband with my son. He has gotten a lot better but with the cancer he keeps getting infections and can't help me. I'm sorry he isn't supportive and helpful.

@chinue, not always

does he behave with the neighbors son?

@bugmama, I'm not going through anything near what you are going through and I'm sorry you have to endure this! 😔 I'm just so exhausted with my husbands selfishness and irritability. I'm beyond sick of dealing with his hateful attitude. I cry all the time. I don't feel depressed or anything but he's driving me crazy. After 4 years I just don't see a change coming. Ugh
