My daughter have severe ADHD, the dr thinks she has bipolar. She has yet to be diagnosed. She is in a special program for children with behavior problems and challenges. She is way behind and will have to repeat the 1st grade next year because of all the problems. I have two other children. One in the second grade and the other just turned 4 and is going to go to preschool next year. I have dealt with her the best I know how. I have my family in church and my pastor has gave me some great advice for dealing with her. I feel like I am neglecting my other two children cause I am having to focus so much on her. I try to give all my children the same amount of attention, but it is so difficult when i am having to run to the school, or the theripist office and I am so run down with it. Do not give advice if you do not deal with this, but for any parent who faces these challenges, please advice welcome...

I'm in the same boat. I have 1 child that is really out of control. Total I have 5. The other kids are pretty normal so I know it isn't something I have done. I'm back and forth to therapist and doctors for years. Her dx so far is Behavioral Disorder. But I think that is way off. It to me seems more like a personality disorder. She has to create the most trouble so all the attention in the room is on her. She doesn't care if it is bad attention just that everyone is focusing on her. It started in Kindergarten with throwing chairs and hasn't stopped. She is has been suspended so many times. When one of my other kids gets one of her old teachers they are in shock because they behave. They are quiet too so they get ignored a lot. What I try to do is take the other ones out shopping with me. Then the troubled daughter claims I favor them over her. I feel like I can never win!
