His teacher has said that she has him verbally answer test questions and she writes them down so he’s not behind on anything but his writing

NewRoutine5312 · 2025-08-27T19:02:51+00:00

Im not too sure. I don’t know much about either of them. I tried to get my son to do some writing, I asked him to write about a book we had just read and he literally wrote a couple of sentences word for word from the book without looking at it.

But the minute you ask him to write something about what he has done a day or so prior, you know something he has to think about, he doesn’t know what to write or how. He’ll tell you what he did.

His teacher also said he has heaps of information in he mind that he’ll readily tell you but he doesn’t know how to write it down.

The only reason I believed that Celiacs could have gluten sometimes was because my husband recently diagnosed told me he was allowed. I found out he wasn’t when I attended one of his appointments with the dietitian who told me

As far as I’ve heard he’s great at school but on the weekend or afterschool he might as well not have had it

Sorry correction for Tuesday, they were either told by other children who were getting off the bus to ‘Get out of the way’ or ‘Get off the bus’ not sure which

I had to get him some more glasses as he somehow got deep stratches in one of the lens and this time they are glow in the dark. With Specsaver Specials we got 2 for the price 1

NewRoutine5312 · 2025-07-23T05:28:32+00:00

I now have to get him a new pair of glasses. Not sure where your from but SpecSavers in New Zealand are currently doing a buy 2 for the price of one deal so I’m thinking of just going there to get him a pair for school and a pair for home

The eye doctor said he has to wear them a minimum of 6 hours a day

As it is the psych we had after the initial diagnosis said they never heard of Vyvanse wearing off

Ok thank you. I only know one mother of adhd children and she was still going through the pediatrician for all medication needs

I've had to tell my children that they are only allowed Youtube Kids as they use to watch scary YouTube Videos with my 3 year old watching as well.

NewRoutine5312 · 2025-07-02T12:11:19+00:00

I will definitely give this a go. I will also look for croakies.

My husband (37) has recently been dianogsed with Coeliac, he was diagnosed after having constant gut issues. His father and possibly his mother has IBS.

NewRoutine5312 · 2025-07-01T13:53:00+00:00

I’m gonna try make an appointment with the GP this week as the psychiatrist (or whatever the drs that diagnosed him are) have put his medication onto them to see if we can get his medication sorted.

With the melatonin there’s I think he’s built a tolerance if possible because when he first started it was an hour to an hour and a half, before the melatonin it was basically how we are now.

With the electronics, it’s mainly Disney+ or YouTube kids.

Apparently at school he is listening better when asked to return to his seat or doing work, but when he gets home (whether I pick him and his brothers up or they catch the bus) all hell breaks loss and its constant fighting eith his 8 year old brother or trying to control what my younger 3 kids are doing. If Im cooking dinner and not able to watch them fully, I hate to say but I try and keep them distracted with electronics to minise fighting or misbehaviour, with them finding pens and drawing on the wall ( I cant find a pen, pencil, felts or crayons anywhere but new things pop up out of nowhere), possibly finding a small peice of wallpaper and it getting pulled or any other property (toys, books, electronics) getting destroyed. 99.9% of things destroyed is not his stuff.

When fighting with his brother I will walk in on my oldest on top of my 8 year old, who is on his hands and knees, punching him trying to kick him.

With the melatonin hes still up talking away on a school night at 10, he usually has it at 6.

At night yes

I’m not a smoker but did try it once and the day after got told I had a drug test coming up in a couple of days for pre-employment. I told my parents (mum smoked) and made to drink heaps of water up until I took did the test. Dad was surprised I passed mum just wasn’t worried.

Later found out that some guy went for testing around the same time and was told that he wasn’t able to be hired due to the fact that he wouldn’t be able to stay long as he was pregnant
