Today was not a good day for my little Peter Pan

[LostNNeverland]

Although my shiny, smiling boy had a great 3 Days of school, today was not a day for that. I was called to come pick up my tantrum throwing child and upon arrival he was in the concrete “quiet” room our schools have equipped themselves with by simply gutting what used to be a bathroom in the classroom. My son was being held by his arms, torso and legs by 3 faculty members due to banging his head off the concrete wall. It makes me die a little every time inside when I arrive and see my son in such an emotional state and knowing that only I, as his mother, have the power to snap him out of it. As per usual, there was no set trigger for today’s manic episode but did just as much damage to my poor boy’s psyche. He hates the program he is in at school (he was recently taken out of his general classroom and placed in a special behavior classroom). I want so badly to rescue him and take away all his worries and fears but I have to continue to remain strong for him because I am trying to produce a productive member of society in the long run. The struggle is real everyday but today was especially tough for my Peter Pan. We start his new med on Monday, I just ask that you all keep him in your thoughts and prayers and always remember, you’re never alone in this battle...

I'm so sorry you are going through this. I am praying for you and your son that you find the treatment plan that works for him.

Thank you...it’s been a long 3 year battle

totally understand you feeling.

I just went back from the school parent meeting. Every words teacher talked about point to my son's ADHD... I don't know whether I can help him to avoid the problematic future one lady talked about. But I had to be smile to my son and let him feel happy to be around me so that I can help him for a better tomorrow.

I’ve tried to protect my son from my tears but I’m still human...I think it’s ok to show our kids that from time to time

So sorry, I am so sad for you and your son.

Sorry you had a bad day. That does sound really hard. I hope you find something that works for you.

m so sorry for your bad day. After about a month of great days since starting Vyvanse, my 7 yr old son had 2 extremely bad day's. We have definitely had the days of me going to school to help my little boy calm down in the "calm down" room and help him get dressed (he gets so mad that he strips off all of his clothes and throws them around the room); thankfully this hasn't happened in a couple of months. Last year it happened every other week all year long! I am still struggling with my son to figure out his triggers and calm down strategies to keep him out of that extreme phase; prayers for you and your sweet boy as you walk through this struggle.
