Patricia Mili @shaggin I didn't think there was much control over the kids. And they didn't even make sure the kids were bringing work home so when books were forgotten even if I could go back often the classrooms were locked and we were in trouble. It was not a good...

Nearly everyone has heard of ADHD or ADD. You might even personally know someone affected by it. However, there is also an eye disorder, often completely treatable with no medication needed that often masquerades itself as ADHD....

Patricia Mili My kiddo honestly can tell you I need my meds for school mom. He will ask for it because otherwise concentration is difficult for him. There is a neuropsychologist named Dr Amen who has correlated brain scan data with normal brains and different types of...

This week was the first week my new middle schooler had homework. He's in a much bigger school this year. In ways that's a bad thing and in other ways it's also a good thing. I worry with his ADHD he might be one of those who...

Patricia Mili @crazzydolphin when you get an eye doctor look on the list for ones who check for tracking disorders on the website. Usually they are developmental optometrists. Likely with lazy eye she will be a candidate for vision therapy. There is a Ted talk on vision...

Patricia Mili @purplealabaster yes. My ex and I (we were married at the time) were at odds because at 2.5 she said she thought he was behind in speech and we needed to do something. I argued with him and his mom (who taught K) and they both said I was over reacting so at...

Patricia Mili The treatment is very non invasive. It's vision therapy with homework. We did Brock Beads & many other interesting exercises. Some of them were fun and some were NOT! You can check out our story at:

Patricia Mili The youngest's preK school is already looking at testing his writing, which to me, is a red flag for vision. I'm lucky enough to have a friend who works in the area of speech therapy who gives me a heads up that the kids are having problems in areas such as...

Patricia Mili I found this: " The symptoms of convergence insufficiency can make it difficult for a child to concentrate on extended reading and may overlap with those of ADHD. The recent CITT study showed that 45% of the children with convergence insufficiency reported...

Patricia Mili Our school wouldn't even do recess detention. It was frustrating because as he got older he was defiant in class and they really didn't do anything to rectify

Wow, talk about a case of parenting gone wrong. Apparently, these parents wanted to teach their 16 year old son a 'lesson' about drinking. They decide to have him drink whiskey to 'get him sick' in hopes it would scare him from...

Patricia Mili WOW! this is amazing and horrible. My parents taught us about drinking a little at a time. We were raised somewhat European in the way that special meals such as Christmas dinner always included wine. The kids were given mini wine glasses and allowed a...

Patricia Mili I was told when he was in K3 & K4 they wanted to test him for ADHD. However, I didn't want it on his record and I felt he was really too young to medicate, etc. I kept trying to manage it through 3rd grade and finally I took him in for private testing. He...

Patricia Mili @TiarasOceanView I did too. It wasn't cheap either. PLUS I enrolled him in a school up by my uncle which was over 8.5 hours north of the rest of the family so we could leverage the smaller classes and "more student contact." My comment to them was that I...
