First day at school on ADHD meds
MOMMY: Daughter is at school right now. Day three on Concerta. This is the big test. How will she do today? And will she have any anxiety because she thinks she should be doing better, but maybe she doesn't? Will she feel the anxiety that I feel? Why can't I be there with her? Oh, to be a fly on the wall in that classroom today. I am so very fortunate that she has a teacher who is so caring and concerned about her wellbeing and also great at communicating with me. She'll give me a good play-by-play of the day. It's only 9:42 a.m., and I've already gotten one e-mail. And as for my other worry--how she'll do at lunch--I have that covered as well. See, Daughter's best friend's mother is an aide at the school. She eats lunch with the kids every day. So she'll be watching and giving me a full report. So while *I* can't be a fly on the wall, I have two flies on the wall who will report back to me. Still ... this day is killing me. I don't like turning my child over to others when I feel like she needs me.
