[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would repeatedly reassure this kid that he can learn to focus and he can learn to adapt. Brains are plastic and they can be improved, just like a muscle. Talk to the doctor about what to do and then make a plan for this kid. Stuff that will help: 1. Therapy for your child 2. Medication 3. Martial arts or yoga teaches focus 4. Action adventure video games teach focus[/quote] I would also tell him that 1) he got his smarts from his mother and 2) none of it matters without hard work (but that he can learn to work hard.)
