This is such a scary process. I am in the process of having her evaluated to determine what months of research and years of observation have shown me. My child has serious problems focusing on any task for too long. She is easily distracted and becomes agitated quickly when asked to move from task to task. She has problems in social settings because it is very hard for her to engage in normal conversation by following and fitting in appropriately. Sometime it breaks my heart to see how hard she tries to fit in or get in conversations, but she just can't seem to get the rhythm right or something.
We will sit for hours (literally) going over her homework and making sure it is right, only to find out weeks later she never turned it in. I have to go through her backpack each night to be sure there is nothing in there that should have been turned in. Now she is getting ready to start middle school and I am terrified that it will be overwhelming for the both of us.
All through elementary school, I forged a very close relationship with each of her teachers. Now as she she goes to middle school with as many as 4 or so, I wonder if I will be able to maintain the same relationships with all of the, my job and my sanity.
we will soon find out as September 9, is quickly approaching.
