5 year old w/ ADHD kicked out of daycare X 2
by Aimee09, Apr 15, 2009 05:54PM
I am at a loss. My son just got kicked out if his second daycare. He has ADHD and is on Focalin 5 mg daily. He talk backs to the teachers, laughs in their face when they try to discipline, throws things, bumps, hits or spits on kids at school and the teachers can't take it anymore. Texas does not have that much support for ADHD kids, but I question myself, is it his ADHD or is he just being defiant? A little history, he has a 5 1/2 month old sister, his dad is not around and the kids at the daycare he just got kicked out of do not like him because of the way he expreses himself. What do I do?

Social stories help very much - personalized to a child, they take you through various social situations.....
ADHD children need lots of structure - does his daycare have a lot of structure?
5 is also very young to diagnose ADHD - get a second opinion, does medication help him at all?
If not - you may want to look into other alternatives in terms of medications
Make sure that teachers do not just "try" to discipline him, but in fact, discipline him, and discipline is consistent between school and home. Many times teachers "give in" or make "special rules" because they do not have time to deal with the difficult child.
Good luck
