[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here and I am also concerned about this. DD is in K and teacher just expressed concern during teacher conf that she has trouble focusing/following directions/ keeping still. Teacher said she is very bright and would do better if these other areas improved. She already has her sitting in a different place in class away from others so she doesn't disrupt them. She says when separated, DD kind of zones out and doesn't pay attention. We also had DD take the WPPSI last year for private admissions and the tester said the same thing. She worked while moving around and wiggling. Hard to stay focused.

We have problems at home getting her to focus or sit still. At dinner we have to ask her to sit back down in her chair at least 5-6 times. She is almost 6 years old.

Should we ask that she get referred? We don't want to medicate at this point, so looking for other advice. [/quote]

Pp again. Teacher said she thinks borderline ADHD, but that she is still young. She said to keep her busy with activities which we do. Dance, swimming, piano, etc. Just wondering if there is anything we can do now to help her focus and concentrate. [/quote]
