My daughter is 7y/o, and on or about Jan 2006 she has been getting in trouble at school. Every other day her school is calling, telling me that she is being written up on a referral or being suspended. They say she won't sit down when told repeatedly, she talks and yells across the class and, she won't stay on task. And even gets in trouble in the cafeteria while eating lunch.
I took her to the doctor 6 months ago and her pediatrician diagnosed her with ADHD. She was put on medication that worked fine until now. The doctor up'd her dosage yesterday and I'm scared that in 6 more months it will have to be increased again. She is not a BAD child, she just seems to not be able to control her actions. I asked my child how does she feel about this and she doesn't even understand what is going on. Sometimes she seems to zone out while I'm talking, her eyes are looking at me but her mind is gone. What can I do? Somebody help me help her, PLEASE!
