Not stand out to catch attention, but stand out in your mom uniform to not look like a clone on a field trip where half the moms are wearing joggers, NB shoes, tee and chambray shirt. And the other half are wear leggings, Nike scrunch socks and a crew neck? 😅
Signed, the 11th mom in the joggers and chambray outfit.

My 5/yo daughter was prescribed 18mg concerta and she took her first dose yesterday morning.
She struggles with hyperactive and inattentive issues. Never moody or violent.
She’s cried about several things yesterday and today, the worst being last night she cried so hard I thought she was going to throw up because the compressor kicked on on the fridge to cool it down while she was trying to sleep, and then right now she’s currently laying face down on the floor sobbing after she threw her glasses across the room because she couldn’t get the paper off a sticker. Usually if she’s upset she wants held or hugged but trying to pick her up was a HUGE mistake.
Is this something that will mellow out or how do you know when to ask to try different meds?

I got an email from my credit card company and messages from the host through VRBO about my down payment not going through. I got it settled with my cc company but there’s no option on the app to send the payment again. After googling how, a result came up saying I’d get an email from VRBO to make the payment again but I still haven’t gotten anything.

Update to an earlier post.

My daughter’s school won’t do an IEP evaluation since she isn’t struggling or showing signs of a learning disability. I messaged the doctor with the update a few hours ago and I just got a notification on her mychart saying his sent in an RX for “methylphenidate ER 18 MG CR tablet” but I didn’t receive a phone call or any other instructions. Is that a normal starting dose? It seems high for her never being on a stimulant before. Also she’s 5 years old and TINY.

Idk, maybe I’m just overthinking it.

Is this normal?

After struggling for about a year I finally took my daughter to her pediatrician and he diagnosed her today. He doesn’t want to medicate in general, but he said if I really felt she needed it then he would, but he wants an IEP from her school first?

We already brought the Vanderbilt assessment from her teacher which says she’s doing above average academically, she is just very disruptive and doesn’t listen or follow directions if it requires her to sit still or take turns, and makes unsafe decisions the second we take our eyes off her (jumping off bleachers, climbing fences, etc). She also goes to a private school which doesn’t have to follow the laws pertaining to rights for IEP’s and other typical public school accommodations. Google also says that an IEP can take 60+ plus days and we literally have just a few days left in the school year.
