Our 7 Year Old Is Going to Drive Us All Crazy!

Hi. My 7 year old son is in the first grade. He is very very smart sometimes too smart. The problem we are having at home and he is having the same problem at school that when he is given work he unable to organize himself so that he can complete it. He is constantly losing and misplacing work or drifting off. When it comes test time though he gets perfect scores but I thinks its because its the only task he has in front of him. This has been going on all year his asthma also flared up a lot this year so they changed meds, doses, etc...

Allergy Medicine for a 5 Year Old Boy

I have heard that you should give Zyrtec at night b/c it tends to make children sleepy but what about Claritin? SHould that be given in the a.m. or at bedtime? Do you prefer one over the other and why? I have already discussed this with my pediatrician but want to her moms opinions. Thank you
