ADHD Through the Teacher's Eyes

It is quite common that parents, particularly parents for the first time, have no real idea of ​​what "normal" is for a child to the age of your child. This guide is written as a "translator" - a way to use the words of a teacher could be used to describe the behavior of your child understand your child's brain. Teachers often hesitate to call a student with ADHD - legally not allowed in some states - which means, as the father, the burden is on you to recognize when described.

The professor said, "your child does not finish the job"

Ask your teacher: why not? If the teacher describes a number of situations in which your child has been absorbed by a non-work task and forgot that there was division, consider the potential for ADHD to cause this kind of distraction. If the teacher describes your child feel frustrated that other children were loud or disruptive, or just look out the window instead of closing, you might have a child who really wants to do the task, but literally not possible .

The teacher says, "always talks about his son"

If your teacher complains that your child is constantly interrupting the person must have the ground or that can not seem to keep quiet during quiet time, given the potential for ADHD to make them forget the "rules" of the school conversation. ADHD children often blurt out their unfiltered thoughts. If your teacher complains that your child needs a lot of words to reach a "point" to answer a question, which is also a classic sign of ADHD.

The professor said, "your son will not be long"

Ask your teacher when? Often children with ADHD have problems with frustration when they do not get what they want, and often feel they should have the last word. This can lead to some incredible screaming matches, but also some failed attempts at full-time cooperative. If they do not get along "targeted", but not when it deliberately observed their performance, ADHD is a strong possibility.

The professor said, "your son is not paying attention"

If your teacher complains that your child asks "why?" or other large simple questions, even when they seemed to be listening - or acts including, but clearly had no idea what they are supposed to do - which is an excellent indicator of ADHD. Children with ADHD are often enough to present the correct smart appearance (ie, listen, understand or address), even when their brains are really busy Minecraft building construction instead of listening . But when it comes time to show their understanding ... it is simply not there.

Understanding how a teacher sees a student with ADHD - recognized or not - can help you understand exactly how and why your child might need a little help deserved to "do" at school. The worst thing you can do is force continue to fail to thrive when the capacity is just an open recognition of the distance.
