[quote=Anonymous]I also think that for kids on the milder end of the spectrum, the dramatic changes to our education system in the last few decades make a huge difference. My ADHD son had no issues at his relaxed outdoor-education K-1st program, but once he aged out and transitioned to a more traditional school with significant desk-work and less physical activity he began to struggle. And that was a private school that still had 3 recesses per day and no testing. If you had a kid like mine at a daycare or play-based preschool and put him into a standard public K with a big class, one recess per day and lots of emphasis on reading (and sitting), he would crash and burn. The standard experience in K 30 or 40 years ago was much more like the play-based preschools of today.[/quote]
