All About ADHD : Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

[fifiyeo]

Ours was done more than 3 years ago but once the school’s learning support officer is aware of your report, she/he can follow up with requests for exemptions etc. We didn’t need any exemptions in the end but DS gets complaints for being too talkative and not paying attention blah, blah, blah from teachers on and off.

Teach them how to be independent at home first. Like going toilet and eating. Must stay focus too, otherwise, may not learn anything in school.

I think the pre-school teachers adopted the 因才施教approach but in primary school, due to the mass students and structured way of learning, children at lower primary may not be able to take it, especially for those who questions a lot and do not accept surface answers. In this new age, perhaps online learning will be better so that children can learn at their own pace and not get bored in school especially for children with ADHD.


However, being in the society, we just need to keep training and reinforcing our children to abide to sit at own desk and complete the work even when they already knew how to do it, for the purpose of getting assessed whether they knew their stuff and allow others to learn in a conducive manner.

Further to Kitty2 post, anyone tried or know more about TCM treatment. Just seen doctor again after 1 year waiting. My boy is confirmed ADHD and i do not feel good with medication too but do not know if there is any other way to help him. His hyper part i can bear with but his focusing and attention is very bad which will result in poor result.

Any parent here who did not give their kid medi and could handle them and their result are still fine. Please help.

Depends on individuals so you'll have to observe and eliminate. Sweet stuff definitely one of them.

For us, milk is a major one. DS got a weak stomach so it makes him feel uncomfortable and irritable which results in bad behaviour. He loves milk that's the worst part.

Hello!

I just wanted to share to any parents who are looking for some assistance with their child in the realm of communication/speech therapy. My friend’s son has someone from LEMM International Therapy who comes to their home to work with him, and he has really improved! I can find out more about the service if anyone is interested in the Klang Valley, and wanting some help with their child.
