[quote=Anonymous]I can identify with so many of the previous posts! Medication has helped a lot as my child can better focus on conversational cues when the medication is active. Anxiety seems to play a role too, as others have suggested, so that is turned up a bit here at the start of the school year. And doing the Unstuck program helped us a ton in terms of parent coaching on this - we learned how to make the implicit explicit. As 17:34 noted, ADHD kids may not see the same cues that others see, so you have to pause and point them out, and model what to do next. It's exhausting, but effective over a longer time horizon. With time, our child (an only, so no outlets but us!), has learned not to take it so personally when we ask for quiet, and has learned we all need breaks and it's OK to ask for them.[/quote]
