Hi everyone! I'm starting to check this list more often to try to keep up

with the number of messages being posted.

Chris: My daughter does not have ADD/ADHD. I've tried to intervene when she

is " spacing out " and she just about chews my head off and sometimes she snaps

out of it as if being caught at something. I'm puzzled at times as I'm sure

you are also. She did start having difficulties in school and her teacher

called me to let me know about it. She was also erasing and redoing things

especially when it came to doing tests. Her teacher now gives her extra time

doing tests and she seems to be doing much better with her tasks. Her recent

report card was much improved over the last one especially with her teacher

recognizing that she has OCD.

Someone mentioned that their child's obsessions differred from one week, or

longer, to the next. I think it was Sheree! My daughter (13) took an 18

month absence from her washing her hands to where she is today. I can't

explain that and neither can her doctor. I, too, have also noticed that after

we have a really good week or so, then we have a really bad few days. Weird,

eh! (Pardon me. That " eh " was so Canadian). Yes, I'm Canadian!!

I'm glad to see others take personal time with themselves or with their

hubbies. My hubby and I and 2 dog go for a walk every night to clear the air

and get fresh air. I need it more than he does because I have to deal with

every morning whereas he leaves at 5 am. My birthday is next week (the

big 40) so we are hitting the town. And boy, I can't wait!

Take care everyone.

Patty
