Bahaviour

Laura's teacher reported at the annual review last week that Laura was much more compliant nowadays.

Of course as soon as you tell people how good everything is, sod's law comes into force and it all goes pear-shaped. So predictably Laura has been extremely lively, with lots of dropping and refusal behaviour this week at school. I'd already said last week that she was becoming more of a handful at home and that I was thinking of getting her Ritalin dose increased. So now that she is having problems at school too, I think I will speak to Dr Jay before the holidays and get it increased.

Laura's back has been more bruised this week, and her legs are badly bruised and grazed too. School say it is not just her new chair but she is launching herself across furniture and generally being a handful. She nearly fell off the bus as she bounded towards me. So something needs to be done for her own safety. The trouble is the dose goes up in large increments, so we will likely see a big change before she settles into the new dose.
