My son had this problem - I spe...OMG not you too?<br /><br />My son had this problem - I spent so many times at the school in meetings etc etc<br /><br />Eventually withdrew him, put him into private school which worked for a while together with Ritalin.<br /><br />Then we just faced facts ( as they seemed to us at the time) and home-schooled and stopped the ritalin which seemed to have done as much as it could for him by then anyway.<br /><br />He's nearly 18 now - no 'qualifications' from school but perfectly able to make his way in the world as he has taught himself so much - including computer skills and can learn anything he needs to as and when he needs to.<br /><br />But I remember those days like a bad dream I am glad to have woken from. <br /><br />No wonder you like diet coke - he finds Red Bull with its caffeine works like ritalin to help him focus when he needs to.banana_the_poethttp://poetry4fun.blog.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
