MumofThree - she had depressive symptoms and went into rages at the drop of a hat. She also stopped eating almost completely. She was able to physically keep the med down, though.
I also agree with your last point.... when things are hard, my DD moves around WAY more. She describes it as a physical discomfort to have to concentrate on something that is 'boring', 'hard' or 'dumb'. She curls her toes up in her shoes and screams on the inside while she writhes around in her seat and bounces up and down. It is very hard to be near her when she is having trouble concentrating, I feel for anyone who works with her.
perplexed - do you think it might be worth looking for a new tutor? There is only so much you can do about a wiggly child who doesn't tolerate meds. They are going to move around and wiggle!
