i was just wondering if anyone eles had this problem see my daughters adhd is very clear for everyone to see (and also feel the need to pass jugdement on ) at home and in our neighbourhood where she is very scary at times and often hits me with whatever is in her hand , makes threats to stab me and her sisters and kill us and whichever child has annoyed her within the street .
At school they only really have issues with her fidgiting and socializing she doesnt display any of the behaviour she does at home , which for one im glad for because i know that the kids at school will be ok and im not going to be pulled over by any parents there , but at the same time its hard trying to get the help for her when she doesnt didplay the behaviour there , she has displayed hypoactivty within her doctors office which lead to the diganoses of hypoacitvity impluseive adhd.
just wondering if anyone eles had this problem or has it and what there doing about it or an advice you could give me . :)
thank you donna
I've often felt that the kids are trying hard all day to hold in their ADHD behaviors, and then when they come home they let it all out. Maybe because they feel safe there to be themselves, and have un conditional love from their parents.Well, school is a structured environment and home more relaxed. My son does best with his primary teacher, less well with "specials" teachers, and by the end of the day at home he may be bouncing off the walls. Completely unmedicated at school he is virtually non-functional, but at home he does fairly well if left to his own devices--though he tends towards defiance and/or hyperactivity otherwise.
