Big hugs to you!! I understand the frustration. My DD is 8.5 and is HG with ADHD. Her school keeps skirting around enriching her curriculum until she gets her ADHD 'under control'. Like that is ever going to happen completely? In the meantime, she is losing her mind, so to speak, with boredom.
I do not have any advice to share, as we are just beginning to navigate these waters ourselves. But, you are not alone! This board is fabulous and I am sure you will get great advice. I started coming to this board for information and I stayed to maintain my sanity.
Big deep breath.
ETA - My daughter started medication treatment in first grade. She says that it changed her life (her words) because it helped to stop her brain from being 'itchy'. I'm not telling you this so that you will run out and medicate your child, but to show that it is worth keeping an open mind about all treatments. Also, meds are only a small part of what they need to be successful. My DD still needs ALOT of supports in the classroom.
