[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, OP you don't ignore what the teacher has to say. He's reading when he shouldn't be, it doesn't matter that he's "bored." Don't teach him to ignore the teacher. Also, why do people jump to ADHD or something when a kid is "bored" in school or doesn't want to listen? MAYBE it's as simple as he doesn't think he needs to listen because that's mom's attitude.[/quote] Op didn't just say he was bored. She said He struggles with paying attention to his teacher in class. Per his teacher, he constantly drifts off in the class and reads his own books. He does have trouble concentrating on things that he doesn’t feel fun. It’s painful for him to sit there and day dreaming. She mentions inattention, inability to stay on task, difficulty concentrating and impulsivity - impulsively reaching for books when he knows he should be on task. Those are a number of signals for ADHD and all the same ones my dd had before her diagnosis by a psychologist. [/quote]
