I believe a lot of times too some of these kids (and could have been Coop) are so gifted that they are bored in school, so that tends to cause the discipline problems.
I believe this is part of Zak's problem, however, if he won't apply himself, they can't do anything else with him. There just aren't enough people to make it possible.

Our phillosophy is Meds as a "last resort."
We along with the teacher, and Phsyciatrist are focusing on other ways to control her lack of attention which right now even though it's noticable is not keeping her from progressing.
Wonderful! I'm glad you are proactive about her well-being. Many parent's either ignore it, place them on meds to make their (the parent's) lives easier, or just think the kid is bad seed.

Patience is a good thing to have. Zak still isn't able to do more than one thing at a time and I have to be constantly repetitive. I'm used to it, but others get frustrated with him easily.

While feeling very far from being perfect parents we do love are kids to bits.
When Allana was five I spent two days in the hospital sleeping by her bedside when she was hospitalised due to Pneumonia.

Patience isn't a strong point for me-I am learning it.
Surprisingly, I can be patient with genuine needs, I just get impatient with those who really have no excuse.
Of course I have no excuse to be impatient at all, but God is working on it.
Believe me he's working on it!
I think we all our to a degree. I have problem with comprehension, but scored 11 on this test.
That's not anything like the real test to determine ADD. The one my daughter took involved her answering a ton of questions and interview and then I had to answer some questions to on how she reacted to family life, etc.
I have problems with comprehension and it drives people nuts. Here on the list, I can read things over before I respond. However, I almost always ask people to repeat what they said both because I don't hear it (they say my hearing is fine) and don't understand it. This is interesting to me. Whenever someone tries to tell me directions to do something, I say "Write it down". Hmm.....maybe I learned something about myself here. I don't think it has anything to do with impatience. Once I understand something though, I often have a better grasp of it than most people. I'm not sure what to make of that.
