to think that ADHD/ADD is a load of nonsense?

[Breton1900]

Are we really producing ever more kids with these conditions or do parents simply need to take back control and realise that, at times, all kids can be obnoxious, loud, defiant, restless and fidgety and that strictly enforced rules for behaviour, lots of TLC, and the occasional smack on the bum may be the way forward?

made by a blue cow

and said off to bed like Zebedee

in a blue field

But frogs aren't allowed on x factor only talentless morons with no life so the frog was very sad

i scared the blue cow he now turned green and spewed in a tent

and had bad parents who let the baby frog eat too many E-numbers

boing, the hit a troll on the head

Does blue cow get lonely?

Perhaps we need Chicken Licken to keep her company.

katiestar I probably wasn't as expansive as I could have been.

She does have a brain malformation. A physical, structural malformation which causes subtle changes across the majority of her brain surface.

She does have fine motor problems.
She does have gross motor problems.
She does have speech and language problems.
She does have global developmental delay.

The list goes on...

BUT what got her the special school place is that a Mainstream school could not keep her safe and she would need complete 1:1 support.

To keep her in the classroom in a Mainstream Primary, with their largely open-plan layout would have been a very difficult thing, and the vast majority of time would have been spent just trying to contain her in the room.

To keep her safe in the school site would have meant scrupulous adherence to policies around gate closures, increased security of the perimeter fencing, etc.

It most certainly is the undiagnosed but nevertheless present ADHD symptoms that have got her a Special school place rather than a Mainstream + 1:1 place.

There are lots of children with more severe delays than my DD in mainstream schools. But they are generally more passive, and therefore can be kept safe.

When we take DD1 to her Paediatrician appointments, my DH has to come with me to keep DD1 safe while I talk to the Paed, and we have to lock the consulting room to keep her in it.

The fact remains, it is highly unusual for a girl to have a Special School placement and a statement of SEN at the age of 4. 6 in 1000 girls her age.

Now tell me again that her behaviour is 'normal'?

but the frog had a cunning plan and made cheryl a bracelet

but she caught malaria from it

In fact, the Head of the Special School told me that DD1's profile was ahead of what they would normally take, but her very clear ADHD traits meant that it was the most appropriate placement for her.

So the frog decided it was time for a change of plan maybe if he had plastic surgery and a fake tan Simon Cowell wouldn't notice that he was in fact a frog.

because she though t the meaning of life would be there
but she got bored after 30 seconds
and turned to drugs

Oh no it cant be malaria that must be made up

Blessed are the Cheesemakers.

anyway simon cowell is not too picky so the frog thought he was onto a good plan

So off frog hopped/trotted to the nice private clinic clutching a picture of Amanda Holden in his hand

Oooh not Amanda Holden.

with his lipstick and fake tan

Twas then disqualified from xfactor due to the other record deal he already has

but went to the katie price clinic by mistake

and got FAT lips
