[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our little ADHD chatterbox is killing it professionally in her chosen field and makes more money than either of her siblings. I guess it’s really true what they say about B students being more successful than A students. Wish I could have back all the hours I spent worrying about her.  In our case all the energy needed to be channeled. She ended up having really physically demanding hobbies like rock climbing, triathlons etc. which actually helped. Just chiming in because Inwisb someone had told me there was an upside to getting calls from the teacher when she was young. It will all work out, 🏋️‍♂️ [/quote]

This every kid doesn’t fit in the same little quiet box and it’s ridiculous that teachers expect that these days and that others are saying you’re not parenting your child just because they aren’t a silent screen addict with no personality[/quote]

Nobody is saying that he should fit in a “little quiet box”, they’re saying he needs to understand and respect that there are times when it is inappropriate and that is is rude to distract people during those times.  If he wants to socialize during lunch, after school, on the weekends, or even in class if the teacher has finished the lesson early and given the class permission to chat quietly, no one would be complaining.  The problem is that the primary purpose of being in class is to learn, and he is interfering with that.

If you were at the movies, a concert, etc., and the people in front of you were talking over the show, would you appreciate their personalities snd complement them for not being silent screen addicts, or would you resent them for being a distraction from the reason you were there and want them to save their socializing for a tine and a place that wouldn’t be as disruptive.  What if the lead actor had to interrupt his soliloquy to ask them to be quiet, and they still kept talking?  What if your child was taking a PSAT test with scholarship money on the line that they only get one shot at?  What if it was some sort of professional licensing exam for you?  Are disruptions only a problem when they affect you?[/quote]
