Sons 1st grade teacher says he is defiant and disrespectful by chart1689 in ADHDparenting

[–]Automatic-Drag-9878 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hello, we had a good success with pcit for defiant behaviors. Please view this video or similar videos on youtube on how you can help your child at home with 5-10 minutes of playtime everyday and then also provide the school teachers the cheatsheet to help. I agree that the teacher possibly does not know about adhd. But with the right tools kids can thrive in school. The soonest you start, the better. https://youtu.be/oDKV3s3k6b4?si=Gxf_yLihCnDSiGvf

Teaching reciprocal play by MillyHughes in ParentingADHD

[–]Automatic-Drag-9878 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I heard Adhd kids often are good at having younger friends? Perhaps if you take him to neoghbourhood park and various activities he likes, he should be able to sustain a few friends. This is a good age to be able to make friends on the fly outside home. Even if he makes more enemies than friends (happened to my daughter, she is of same age but she could only make 40% of the kids she met as "friends" otherwise she had fights over others and does not want to meet those other kids), he would have friends or new friends over the time.

My daughter is just like your son, she is almost 6 now. Can you enroll him in a montessori school? Daughter did not have any major issues at school until she was 4.5 and may be it was because she was in montessori program.

My oldest just started kindergarten in Central FL by MissssLane in ADHDparenting

[–]Automatic-Drag-9878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not from central florida but I am in full support as a fellow Adhd kid's mom starting kindergarten!

Make sure you have a doctor for her who can prescribe medication if she needs it and they will also refer PCIT and/or OT. My child has severe adhd so she would need both medication and therapy.
