Or does it sound like telling tales. Ds3 (7) has an older brother with ADHD, diagnosed at 7. I am certain ds3 also has it although his problems are not nearly as marked as his brothers. It is mostly his concentration that is affected. I have spoken to ds1's paediatrician and she agrees that it is likely he has it but feels that diagnosis is not important as the school should be putting measures in place to support his needs regardless.
His teachers, so far, don't think he has ADHD but these same teachers didn't think ds1 had it either. Ds3 is clever, in the top group for everything, but is definitely loosing ground as far as writing is concerned and I worry that other subjects will start to suffer as I have been there before.
He now tells me that other children in the class have started saying "you haven't written enough" or "hurry up or we won't get playtime" and it is upsetting him. When ds1 was this age the teacher actually got the other children to have a go at him as she "thought it might help".
I have an appointment with his teacher next week and I can't help but think she will feel I am making a fuss about nothing as thats the feeling she gives me every time i speak to her - and thats not often - but I feel his self esteem is being affected.
What would you do?
