My son has ADHD and developmental problems.Should I continue working full time or work less to be home more?

I am a single parent, and I am working full time outside the home. My son has been recently diagnoised with ADHD and PDD-NOS (mild form of Autism). He is 4 year old and having a very difficult time in preK. He is seeing two specialist who have him on medication. The medications are not working at this point. The right medication and dosage has not been found as yet. He can not sit still and learn. He can get aggressive sometimes, and not remember what he has done. Because I work alot he is in school all day from 8 am to 4 pm or later sometimes. He is much better at home.

I really do not have a support of a family. My family is in another state. My exhusband's family doesn't want to help. If they do it is once a month or so.

Should I reduce my hours at work(which means reduce income) to be home more with my son? I feel guily leaving him all over the place..school...different daycares and sitters. It's hard to find good stable help. Thank you for helping.My son has ADHD and developmental problems.Should I continue working full time or work less to be home more?
I am a nanny for a child with ADD, I don't think full time school is the option for him, but I'd look into your local government to see what they can do for helping you find a home worker, or work at home nanny that will come in and help the child. The mother of the children I look after is a single mother as well, and she couldn't cut back her hours at her job without losing it all together, so she hired me, between the two of us, we are able to meet his needs, and he is much happier, and doing much better in his school work now that he goes to school. If you can't afford someone like that, talk to anyone you can, at the school, your doctors, your mp and so on to find out if you can get help paying for someone to come to your house. The one on one attention for your child would be very beneficial. The main thing is to keep him in a schedule that he can anticipate every day, same people, same events, same timing, this will be very crucial in his world.



PS If you are looking for a nanny type stable person that is flexible with your hours, talk to your school, and even a local church, they sometimes know of many young women of about 20-30 that love to work with children, especially those needing a bit of extra help that would rather work with children than go into the work force. I wish you well. :)My son has ADHD and developmental problems.Should I continue working full time or work less to be home more?

stay home more, when he grows up u may regret not being able to spend time with him. isn't the father supposed to pay child support. maybe u should consult a lawyer. also you can get a specialists help for yor boy.
