6.      Mental disorder – The Minnesota Association for Children’s Mental Health give symptoms of some of the most common mental disorders at this address.  Whatever you do, NEVER suggest to a parent that their child has a mental disorder.  Bring your concerns to one of your school’s counselors, and you can brainstorm what your next move will be at that point.  The counselor may want to talk with the student, or observe the student in a classroom environment to gather more information.  You are not making a diagnosis because you are not qualified to do so.  You are simply bringing a concern to a qualified professional about one of your students.
