DS (5 nearly 6) ADHD. How do you cope with all the negative feedback?

[BrainLife]

I swear there's something from school every day. He's impulsively hurt someone by accident. He's broken someone's belongings. He's hurt himself. Thrown something. Had a meltdown. Not focusing. Crying. Etc etc. They are putting measures in place (early stages) but it gets a bit much and it's getting me down. He's so lovely and bright and funny - just with some serious behavioural kinks thrown in. I wish they'd feedback all the positives too. How do you cope with all the negative feedback?

That must be so hard. Is he there when they are giving this feedback? I'd be concerned if he is hearing so much negativity on a daily basis over things he had no, or very little control over.

Have you found the SN Children Section yet @BrainLife? You might get some support and advice in there

I know exactly what you mean. It was the same with my eldest. She has ASD but on the waiting list for ADHD assessment now too.

It only got better when she had proper support in place. Now she has 1:1 part time and I asked for a handover book so the asn assistant writes how her day has been and she makes sure to include the good bits too. The book is great as it means she doesn't have to listen to all the negative stuff at handover every single day.
