[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t pressure a kid with ADHD. You can buy some math games online at Lakeshore Learning to play as a fun time with you. Kids with ADHD often learn best by doing. You can find lots of examples of math games on Pinterest. [b]Her brain is not set up to sit and do worksheets.[/b] Try songs in the car of math facts.

A first-grader is still learning concepts of adding and subtracting. An ADHD brain may need a little more time. At this point, you want a positive self-image and for her to think that learning is fun. Please don’t hammer her with school outside of school. This is a long school journey for her, and it does not need to be one of constant worrying about achievement. [/quote]

This is very limiting language. Of course people with ADHD can sit and do worksheets. They may not be able to focus as well as people who don't have ADHD, but it's not an impossibility. And it's not harmful to have them do a worksheet at home once in a while to help them practice the skill of focusing, because like it or not worksheets are a part of school life.[/quote]
