One little guy had a problem with self control and discipline.
I went through potty training, punching (by him), etc.
When it came time for him to be admitted to kindergarten he was a well behaved child, but, his mom told me that the school would not accept him unless he was on Ritalin.
Four years of hard work down the tubes. So sad.
Did the school require all boys to be on Ritalin?
Why were they requiring it for this "well behaved child"?
I realize that due to local control, these things vary widely, but in my district, schools and teachers aren't allowed to even suggest that a child might need certain drugs or have certain conditions, because that would constitute practicing medicine without a license.
