[quote=Anonymous]I have one kid with ADHD, two without. All of them are very active and athletic. The ADHD kid would much rather be fishing or building something with nails, hammers, saws and fire than sitting on a screen. What he does not like to do is sit still. School started getting hard for him when he had to concentrate on the same thing for over an hour while listening to 30 other kids in a classroom. He hits overload and can't concentrate. Teachers that do a lot of projects, either group or powerpoint, get through to him. He can make you a GORGOUS poster about the solar system and hit everything you want covered. It will be fabulous. Make him fill out a worksheet about the planets and it will be crumpled in the bottom of his backpack half filled out and covered in peanut butter sandwich before you can put that 0 into the gradebook. He will do great things if the education system doesn't beat him down first.[/quote]
