[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He’s feeling bad about himself because he doesn’t want to be in trouble and is bright enough to know he is. My kid with ADHD has really terrible impulse control and feels frustrated with herself when she calls out etc. She specifically is seated close to the teacher to minimize distractions as others have said. [b]I’d emphasize to your son the teacher needs to do what works best for everyone, including him.[/b] It’s no different than needing to sit close to the board because you have not gotten glasses yet or whatever. Keep up with the evolution- it’s helpful for kids to be able to put a name to their struggles and it helps you to seek the right kind of professional help. [/quote]

The bolded.
Also your son is in school to LEARN first, socialize second.  So, if he needs to be near the teacher to get his assignments done, you should emphasize that is your expectation: to get assignments done.

You don’t go to work to socialize (or at least you shouldn’t). You go to work to get paid and do your assignments. Your son needs to learn that the assignments are the important part, not talking to others.

If medication helps him do that, you as a parent would get him medicine because his job at school is to learn and do assignments.  [/quote]
