She's going to ruin it for the rest of the teachers

Dave and I had a meeting with Henry's pediatrician yesterday to go over all the forms we completed for the ADHD evaluation.  Her assessment?  He's just a bit immature.  Not to say that he may not develop the disorder down the line, as he does exhibit some of the symptoms, but right now, she's not convinced enough to make a diagnosis based on how well he's doing academically and socially, the fact that he is typically happy and his age.  He's impulsive, but she thinks that with a little growing up and some behavior modification, he can learn to control this.  She wants to keep an eye on him, however, and, if the problems persist through 1st and into 2nd grade or if he starts to have problems with school work, she would be willing to re-evaluate at that point.  Having it on the radar enables us to nip it in the bud if it does rear its ugly head and he runs into problems with grades or social skills. 

This was what Dave and I felt the problems were, but it was so good to hear a professional confirm it.  His teacher was thrilled to hear it, as well, and we talked about some of the tricks our doctor gave (most of which she is already doing with him).  I like Mrs. R so much - even though our boy is a bit challenging, she never ceases to go on about how much she loves having him in her class or about how funny and smart he is.  She's been so good about communicating with us on how he's doing and so open to suggestions on how to keep him on task and happy - many teachers aren't willing to let parents tell them how to do their jobs.  I'm afraid we've been spoiled already.
