"What can I do to help my child?" is the
question that follows the description of this problem. If
the child does not have similar problems with attention
at home, then it is unlikely that ADHD is the problem
since ADHD symptoms occur in settings other than school.
The problem is more likely to be that the child is not
challenged at school is simply bored. The longer the
child has experienced boredom at school, the more likely
it is that the child will exhibit problem behaviors.
So what should parents do? Parents should try to improve the
situation for their child. The simplest way is to provide more
challenging work for the child, although that is often easier
said than done. Sometimes a child needs to be accelerated,
which is more than just grade skipping. It also includes
subject acceleration and compacting.
Some teachers, and others, will say that a child who is not
behaving should not be given more advanced work or be
accelerated until the behavior improves. But that is like
telling a child who is sitting on a nest of snakes to stop
squirming or he'll have to sit on the snakes even longer. If
you take the child off the nest of snakes, he'll stop squirming
automatically. In other words, if you remove the cause of the
problem, you'll also remove the problem. Tutoring can assist
your child development in many way. I hope to have a page which
can provide assistance to both providers of these services and
people looking for specific turing or learning disability
tutoring.
