[QUOTE="april1974, post: 435024, member: 12128"] I can't give a time frame of when things happened, M has always been bright, smart, cuddly, affectionate, but....he has always been difficult about things, it's like the normal terrible two's never passed, it's exhausting because normal things can turn into a fight, like brushing teeth, washing hair, cleaning up toys, not getting a treat, etc....going to school seems to have overwhelmed him, my mother in law has babysat the last 4 yrs so they didn't have the socialization of daycare center, and most of the kids in his class come from daycares where they are used to circle time etc....but they both had to make adjustments....when they first started school I got phone calls about both of them...but 1/2 the day they are split up which has helped them both out, M would mother hen his brother and E wasn't free to make friends..so splitting them up allowed them to each meet other kids and make friendships. It also freed up M from being the mother hen, he needed to be a kid and not stress over what his brother was doing. I don't know if adhd runs in our family but my hubby & I both have signs of it, my mother said as a child I was go go go go go go I was always on the move and then I also have the typical sign of a female with adhd, I can daydream like nobody's business....I sometimes have a hard time focusing and will drift off into lala land...my hubby is mover, hates sitting around likes to be active, but he's not fidgity or anything, He's athletic in my opinion. M who I worry about the most because of the violence, I fear for the future and hope we can nip this in the bud...teach him to chanel his emotions and think before he acts...academically he is fine and moving along ok. the teachers worry that he moves from play station to play station and doesen't seem to stay focused on anything, but kindergarden is designed for girls not boys..I've told them he can focus he just needs someone to reel him in and keep him involved, he gets fidgity and bored. E I worry about academically, he's fine socially doesn't hit and has a tonne of empathy...but if that child gets into a snit about something...look out...he's super stuborn and can take hours to get over it. This happens less & less as he gets older, but sometimes you just can't reason with him he tunes out and doesn't listen...at least with M you can reason with him and talk to him. If I could combine my twins they would be the easy child! I keep telling myself "you love them...we can get through this" [/QUOTE]
