I Feel The Need To Brag!!!!...........Ladyluck

Hey everyone!!

Yep, I feel the need to brag!! Heehee...As some of you know, my daughter was diagnosed with ADD in March of last year...For the past several years, she has struggled with school..barely getting by with marks like Cs and Ds...She was not a happy child..Life was one big confusion for her, and school only compounded that.

In March of last year, we started her on Ritalin..I am not afraid to admit that at the time I was VERY apprehensive about it..I didnt want my daughter medicated..I had heard stories about the affects of Ritalin on children..The Doctor insisted that we would see a major improvement in her almost immediatly..So.........I agreed to TRY the medication, with the thought that if I didnt like the affect, I would be taking her back off of it.

Now here we are...She is in grade 6 this year..Middle School..Tonight was Parent Teacher Interview night...which means I got to meet all her teachers..at once..LOL..a bit overwhelming sitting there facing about 8 teachers..waiting to hear how my Daughter was doing..Well guess what??? All of them said she was doing "Awesome!!" That was the exact word they used..heehee...They LOVE her!!! She got four Bs and three As on her report card!!!!! I am soooooooooo proud of her right now I could literally burst..They went on and on about what a joy she was to have in the classroom and how she actually is helping other kids who are struggling!!! MY Daughter!!!

So...For those that say Ritalin doesnt work..that it is a new age thing to shut kids up..Sorry, but I dont agree..My Daughter is living proof that the medication DOES work!! She has had NO side affects, is continually gaining weight, and growing tall..Heck she grew 3 1/2 cms in just six months, and gained FIVE pounds!!

Can you tell I am a proud Mom?? Heehee

Date: 11/7/2002 5:35:00 PM  From Authorid: 19586    Obsessive compulsive disorder. She has compulsive thoughts that dont leave her little mind. I always tell her she gets stuck. Sometimes people have obsessive behaviors, like hand washing ,over and over and over again.  
Date: 11/7/2002 5:36:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 33925    Thanks Becky!! Im just so tickled about what the teachers had to say about her..I mean..for the past several years, NO teacher has ever said she was a joy to have in their classroom..she had been labelled a troublemaker very early on. Oh and did I tell you she was voted Class Rep, is on the Student Council, Yearbook committee, Cross Country Team, Badminton team???

Date: 11/8/2002 6:57:00 AM  From Authorid: 22852    Way to go! My son also is in the sixth grade and we too did the Ritalin thing and he went from bad grades to good grades. This year he is Not taking it due to stomach pains from it, but you know what? He really no longer needs it. His writing teacher (which was always his hardest class due to having to concentrate) said he was doing great and he got a "B". So I think maybe he is growing out of it. Your daughter and my son are perfect examples to show that Ritalin really does work for the children that need it.  
Date: 11/8/2002 8:52:00 AM  From Authorid: 4548    wonderful news!  
Date: 11/9/2002 9:06:00 PM  From Authorid: 54968    Totally awesome!!! LOL! I'm glad she's doing well   
Date: 11/14/2002 6:26:00 AM  From Authorid: 33517    I am so so so so so PROUD of you Katlyn...***Big Big Canadian Hugs***...Luv Tina
