Thanks!
Thanks so much for your answer.
ADHD?
Thanks for all these links. My daughter is in 2nd grade, she goes to Parsons school in Harrison. She is having serious difficulties in school. First of all, we use the Conners Scale and her rating was pretty bad ( I don’t have the specific number with me). We went to see a neurologist and basically they say she needed to be tested in school, based on the Conner’s result, with a psychological evaluation. They did, and they decided she is borderline and they need to follow up. At this point she is being pulled out of the classroom for about 45 minutes every day, to get help with reading. My daughter comes home almost every day, frustrated. She claims to be lost with what is going on in the classroom. She is behind in math, she is not able to finish her work at school and when she does she needs a lot of follow up from the teacher. Also she is very forgetful, I made an agenda and I stick it to her school folder, to help her remember what she needs to do everyday, but this is not working. She always forgets the folder and it is a chronic frustration, because her homework accumulates and she is returning it late most of the time. I don’t know what else to do. My daughter says she hates school, she is making up excuses not to go to school, she cries almost every day about school or about being so slow at school. I would like to have an opinion or some guidance. Thank you so much for your help.
