Bridey's therapy
Bridey has been terrible and acting up so bad over the last year, I've been ready to pull my hair out. We have been threatening her with taking her to the therapist hoping she would straighten up and it didn't work so when her grades started falling at the end of this last school year we finally decided to just do it. Her first appointment was last week, and she went again yesterday. She really likes it so far. So I am hoping this will help the situation. Her therapist told me to talk to her teachers this year and have them on the look out for her being inatintive(sp) she said it could be that she has a slight case of ADHD but she wants to watch her and get teachers input before she decides. Which makes me glad we picked this doctor instead of the ones that just pass out the pills before getting any info from the child, I'd reather her be right instead of just doping up my kid. She said that it runs in families (which I didn't know, course I don't know much about it at all) but Bridey has lots of cousins that are on the ADHD meds. As a matter of fact most of them are on medication to keep them calm. Which I don't think is always a good thing. Anyway....... So hopefully this next year will be better!!

I really don't think Bridey needs meds! She just had a really super tough year or so, ya know?! I hope the therapist will be a help! I know I have wished many a time to be able to go to a therapist just to have someone to talk to who understands! Anyhow, I hope it helps! :)
Thanks, Me TOO. :)
I don't think she needs them either, everybody tells me she does but I don't like the idea of medicating just to calm them down, that is why it has taken me so long to take her to the therapist, but I'm glad we found one that is willing to do the work instead of medicating first!
