    If they are children then speak to their school. Otherwise your GP.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Thanks for your reply. I have spoken to school, they have said they don't see what I see as the children are not behaving the way I have told them. I have tried GP they are not giving me any advice. So tired of all this.

    This sounds really frustrating and isolating for you @Sashastar. Is there advice you are looking for in particular?

    If related to diagnoses of dyspraxia and ADHD and the NHS is not giving you advice, it might be worth looking into private diagnoses.

    Please feel free to let us know and, hopefully, we can help you further. In the meantime, some resources you might find helpful are:

    I also want to ask, you mention feeling drained, how are you coping at the moment? Please don't hesitate to let us know if you wish to talk about any of this further or if there's anything else we can do to help  :)
