And I'll tell you Mike used to LAY DOWN in outfield during the game because he got bored standing there waiting for the ball to come to him and it never did. (What 6 year old can hit the ball to outfield? Right?) Can Zach sit and watch a movie for a 1/2 hour or more? If he can then he's probably just going through an easily distracted stage. I like the picture of him in the dog kennel too.

Of course I don't live with him, but let me tell you.. most of my kids, i have to tell them AT LEAST 4 times to do something before they will do it. AT LEAST! Sometimes I say it really fast 4 times in a row, just to get it over with. (gogetyourshoes,gogetyourshoes,gogetyourshoes.)<br /><br />My 6 year old is HIGHLY dis-tractable. I bet that it might just be an age issue. In any case, good luck finding your answers. Rob has had a lot of nieces and nephews with ADD. Some did just fine un-medicated (although it did drive the mothers to the brink of madness) and some did need medication. Two of them have grown up and one is a nurse and the other one is getting a 4.0 in college and taking the MCAT. They are both spacey..but SUPER SMART!<br /><br />He sure is cute! I love the picture with him in the cage!Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10750531487654994286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6160671614641260293.post-91425950902889091492009-09-21T09:39:15.903-06:002009-09-21T09:39:15.903-06:00I forgot to tell you I LOVE your quote from Jane A...I forgot to tell you I LOVE your quote from Jane Austen, Mansfield Park!

You are up for a challenge!! I hope you found some great resources. I am sure PCMC library would have some good books on the subject. But, you would know more about that than me. :) Hope you are having a beautiful fall. We are, I hope it lasts!

I didn't hear you say anything to Zack. <br /><br />Jodi, he doesn't have an official diagnosis. Just my diagnosis after living with him 24/7. It does help me be more patient thinking of it this way.

That game was ridiculous last night and after standing in the field waiting for the other team to finally hit one of the 20 balls pitched to them, I was ready to start playing in the dirt too. I need to relax more and let kids be kids. Unless their mine and then they better do what I say! :) Sorry if I added to your frustrations.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02706961894717161416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6160671614641260293.post-80177141052356906602009-09-18T09:12:57.472-06:002009-09-18T09:12:57.472-06:00Does he have an official diagnosis?

I'm the opposite, always thankful to be steered in the right direction, a diagnosis I can google, books I can read, networking with other families who are dealing with similar things. I think it makes us more patient with our children, able to celebrate their triumphs instead of continually being frustrated with their shortcomings. <br /><br />Good on you . . . and Zack.Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11147261379554401607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6160671614641260293.post-61557450582124255542009-09-18T07:26:52.536-06:002009-09-18T07:26:52.536-06:00I think both instances are normal.
