Possible ADD or Learning Disabilities

I have an 8 year old son in 2nd grade. My concern is that he hates school and has trouble paying attention in class. He is academically right in the middle of his class, but the teacher thinks he is capable of much more.

11 Year Old Daughter with Dyslexia and Dysgraphia

I have an eleven-year-old (fourth grade) daughter who was diagnosed with dyslexia in second grade. Once diagnosed, we received remediation through her school and got private educational therapy several times a week until last year. Last year we moved my daughter to a private school whose reading remediation is based upon the Barton method. We've been happy with her progress and the move. However it's still hard to watch her struggle so much. She is very bright (an honor roll student) and gets frustrated at not being able to do...
