[quote=Anonymous]This is what my 5th grader tells me: -When the teacher gives out assignments or gives instructions, her brain stops listening after a minute and she starts thinking about other things for a minute, and then goes back to paying attention for another minute, etc. -When she's not paying attention in school, 30% of the time it is because she finds it boring and 60% of the time it is because her brain won't let her -She pays less attention during her last class (subject) of the day because her brain is too busy thinking about what she learned in the subjects she had earlier in the day We had a neuropsych done two years ago which mostly but not totally ruled out ADHD, and also found her moderately gifted with some executive functioning weaknesses. School says she can do the work but just has a bad attitude. What do you think? What would you do? [/quote]
