@terresa.nash I would definitely look into it. They told my parents the same thing about maturity. Insurance should pay for testing now. Dyslexia is actually a sign of great intelligence. They see things differently from how we see it. Albert Einstein had it.

@mct no I didn't I just told the doctor the things she was doing and she came up with ADHD and odd and she said that she just immature for her age it get better with age

@terresa.nash I didn't read through everybody's answer but I was wondering if you had her checked for dyslexia. My sister has it and a lot of the things you have talked about she would do. Her memory has always been terrible. My mom would send her to do something and she would disappear and when we would find her she would have no memory of being told. She would get up from the table to go to the bathroom and then forget to come back to finish eating. She always met the developmental milestones but she was the fourth on out of five of us and my mom knew something wasn't right. It took a while to get her diagnosed but she has been so successful in life and she has a college degree and a great job now.

@busymama OK thanks I will look into it

@terresa.nash That's what I did and they got a hold of the people to get them set up for it.

OK I will try that@busymama

@terresa.nash i went to a behavior specialist

@busymama where did you go

@terresa.nash I'm sorry that's such a shame. Both my boys are getting it set up for them. And they are in preschool

@busymama I am going to look into that because she has a tutor and she has to qualify for that they don't want to do the extra work I think

Have you thought about getting a helper for her while in school To help her one one every day.

@lexirosex3 thanks I will come up with something

@terresa.nash, wow! So sorry to hear that ☹️ that’s tough.

@lexirosex3 yeah that's why I'm going to change her school next year so she doesn't get bullied and she got tested last year and she didn't qualify

@lexirosex3 yeah I have done all that and they said holding her back Inst going to do any good but because of this test she has to be held back and she on medication but it doesn't help her do her work

Wow that’s all?? I would honestly tell them again and express my concerns with the principal than if the teachers don’t want to do anything about it. You know your child and what’s best for your child.

No problem! My son is suppose to be in 3rd grade going to 4th but he got held back first grade so he’s in second instead of 3rd and I know he feels bad because he doesn’t understand anything and gets frustrated but there are resources out there and if you speak to her teacher or counselor I am sure they can help.

@lexirosex3 I have and they said that they will keep a eye on her and she how she does all she does is sit there and refuse to do the work

@lexirosex3 thank you

Hope everything works out!! 🙏🏼 prayers!!

@sjo1, thanks! @terresa.nash, all I did for my son is I spoke to his teacher and explained everything to them and I expressed my concerns and they did an evaluation on him. They also saw that he needed help and they are now helping him in school. My son would get so frustrated to but we can’t allow that to frustrate us either.. just try to be calm and talk to the teachers and principle they will help.

@sjo1 thank you I need prayers and yeah hopefully we can come up with something

@damiensmommy1117 yeah then you can eliminate it and move on if it's not just to be safe

@terresa.nash

No, I probably should. I guess I've been kind of scared because of the huge stigma around it.. It would explain so many things about me though..

@terresa.nash I'm sorry! I wouldn't have any ideas on what to do or where to seek help but one thing for sure is that there is help. I can imagine how frustrating it can be girl I'm sorry! Hope things get better for you guys, lots of prayers ❤

@sjo1 I try but she says she doesn't understand and she shuts down and I get frustrated because she doesn't try so I know home schooling is out the question

@lexirosex3 maybe you could help her in the right direction?!

@damiensmommy1117 really so did you ever look into again

@lulu85_18

I was wondering as well if I might have some level of autism.. My mom brought it up to a doctor once and he shut her down and made her feel stupid so she never pursued it further.

@damiensmommy1117 yea I might be out of luck then because she does torturing too she still forgets

@terresa.nash

Nothing ever helped me unfortunately.. Tutoring didn't help, extra work didn't help, I just don't have a good brain I guess...

@lulu85_18 thank you she sees one now and all they said it was because she wasn't mature for her age and she just didn't want to do the work

@terresa.nash, yeah, this could any number of things - could be issues with short term memory. I have this issue too and so does my son. I’ve never been diagnosed with anything, but my son has. He’s on the autism spectrum. Some kids are high functioning and you would never know. I’m really thinking we both have asbergers. Doctors and teachers are often scared to be wrong so many kids go undiagnosed. Try a private psychologist or neurologist if your school doesn’t come up with a diagnosis.

@lulu85_18 I had her tested in the second grade they said she didn't qualify and she has ADHD and odd and she is on meds they help with her behavior but she still forgets when you tell her something like even simple things like go get me the pencil over their and she takes long to do stuff so maybe the new school will test her again hopefully we come up with something

Have you had her tested for any learning disabilities or developmental delays? Does she have an IEP? At first, my son’s school said nothing was wrong with him. I tried four different schools and six different doctors before we got an accurate diagnosis. I know this can be so difficult when our kids develop at a different pace. Some simply do not learn in this terrible setting most public schools have. Do not give up. I’m sure you will get some answers soon. Switching to a new school sounds like a great idea.

@damiensmommy1117 so what did you do

That sounds like me when I try to learn things, been like that since I was a kid. I would learn it and remember it that day, but the next day I wouldn't be able to remember how to do it.
