[quote=Anonymous]Get his eyes checked by an ophthalmologist who has experience with young children. Some degree of having difficulty seeing close up (hyperopia) is normal in young children. As children age by 5 or 6 they grow out if it. My son had difficulty learning letters and writing in kindergarten. He had difficulty paying attention in class, it was awful sitting down and trying to get him do homework. We started the process of getting him evaluated for ADHD. His teacher filled out a rating scale and his scores were very elevated in in attention. Turns out he had difficulty seeing close up. The optometrist told us some optometrist lean toward not prescribing glasses for kindergarteners with milder far sightedness (since some far sightedness is expected at that age) but he realizes how academic kindergarten is and prescribed them. When my son got glasses his reading and writing quickly improved. We asked his first grade teacher about signs of ADHD and she said she wasn't concerned. [/quote]
