"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.
