I got the girls report cards today. Happy with DD1's, but DD2's has me in tears
My baby girl is really struggling. Most of her ticks are in the 'Limited' box, with some 'Satisfactories'. No goods.

She's made no improvements over the past 6 months & it all comes down to her concentration & lack of effort. She gives up too easily & doesn't ask for help.

I want her to have in class assisstance, so someone is there to keep her on the ball. Her teacher, the other support teacher & a parent helper are all doing their best, but its just not enough She's not high enough on the 'disability' list to qualify for any sort of assisstance. Though I am going to put it to the principle.

Her teacher has made a weighted vest for her to wear, to see if it helps her at all. We are really trying to do what we can before we resort to the ADHD meds. I don't think we'll be able to pull it off. I think my baby girl is going to end up medicated.

I know there are a million different views on meds, but I was wanting to try ANYTHING to avoid them, until I was at a point where I thought there wasn't a choice.

I think I'm almost at that point

I'm not looking forward to the judgement & having to explain myself to people who think they know better
I'm not looking forward to my baby having to possibly take teasing for needing meds.

I really don't want to, but I think we have too.
