My daughter is very uncontrollable, hyper, and all the signs of ADHD.I am seeing a doc, but no answers for me yet.He had me read a book called my disobedient child, it helps with the fits.I should say, it helps ME with her fits.They don't go away.No matter how many times a day (maybe 10-20) a day (for a 9 year old???)They say "yes she has some signs of ADHD at home, but hasn't been a problem at school.Which I do agree with them, she is ok at school, she is annoying to the teachers, but I guess that doesn't make them think she is any different, just needs more attention her way. She is in the 3rd grade, and @ our first parent teacher conf, her teacher told me she(my daughter)is COMPLETELY exhausting. She said that when they are doing something, her mind is on other things, and her mind is ALWAYS GOING.So now Im thinking, OK the docs said as she gets older that if she does have ADHD, as the school work gets harder, she will have a harder time in school, get really frustrated.Well, I just saw her doc this week and he wants me to go back to my book and just be consistent with the disciplining.He said he talked to her teachers and have nothing but good things to say about her.I am confused!!!Her teacher seemed to be really different when dealing with me, but not with doc.She told me she will struggle next year in 4th grade so she was going to choose her teacher wisely. I feel like I am just venting to her doc, and he just listens.I feel my daughter has ADHD, but until it spills over into school big time, then they can diagnose her.She is 100 times hyper and out of control at home. I need some opinions on what my next step to do.If anyone has advice for me or would like to hear me vent more,please reply, I am at my total wits end and getting myself to actually go to the docs,you would think they would help me.
please help with your advice.....thanks so much!!!!!

My pediatrician would never say my son had ADHD (even when he was hanging from the chandalier in his office). We went to a psychiatrist for a diagnosis because and he was demonstrating 49 out of 50 of the symptoms. The psychiatrist was certain from the onset that it was ADHD all he had to do was watch him and try to have a conversation with him. Not happening! Several meds later we are on Concerta and he does fabulously in school and the rest of the day. The only time we have to deal with his improper behavior is first thing in the morning and a little bit at night sometimes. Looking for some answers on that here. I feel your pain. Been there done that! Good luck!
I know that I am not the best parent when it comes to punishing my children when they are bad. I use to be alot stronger and stand by all my dissisions. That was when my children were 6,6,6 and 5 on up to the 7 years old. now they are 11,11,11,and 10 and man do things change. As I had mentiond earlier my twins are not biologically mine they are my husbands and were drug addicted babies. The oldest and youngest are mine but not biologically my husbands but we have combined our two families into one and the kids have all grown like biological siblings. I don't treat my kids as though they have a special need. I treat them as if they were totally healthy mental status and all. Some say I am a rock but I see myself now days as a sponge being wrung out and hung out to dry. I am sorry for rambaling on. I guess it is just because I don't talk about the problems in my life all that often. I could as I am sure all of you could keep going on and on about it all.
I hope I gave some good advise or at least sound advise. Good luck if not I am sure my advise will come out someday.
Thanks and God bless.
