I was looking for a way to help my son in class and ran across these school tips for ADHD children.  I plan on printing them out…I think they’ll help when I talk with my son’s teacher.  You know, I think a few of them may even help me to get my son to clean up his room!

We love our children & don’t want to change who they are as an individual…its part of what makes them so special.  A little quiet time is nice, though.

Please read Reasons Your A Great Mom.  It’s not just for moms but for anyone in a parenting roll in an ADDer’s life.  In the comments section, it’s mentioned that the best part is when your child thanks you for helping them.  Getting a ‘Thank you’ doesn’t always happen when your child is young.  My oldest recently reached adulthood and told me that he’d been thinking about it and that he wanted to thank me for all that I’d done to help him be himself — ADHD and all.

If you haven’t received a thank you from your child yet…it’ll come.  I just wanted to say thank you, the world will be an even more amazing, wonderful place when our children are grown because of all you’ve done to cherish and help your child to be themselves!  It’s exhausting, but also a joy!

“Needs to work on organization”

“Needs to work on penmanship”

“If only he applied himself”

“Capable of more”

“Late Assignments”

“Daydreams”

If your child does well in school, has good grades, but you receive notes similar to those above; you may want to check out Does your Gifted Child have ADD (ADHD).

But, have you ever wondered if your daughter could have ADHD?  She’s sweet, and daydreams alot…sometimes the teacher asks if she’s had enough sleep because she almost fell asleep in class?

ADHD is considered a “Spectrum Disorder“, there are many types of ADHD.  I found a site that shows a number of the different types, using familiar cartoon characters as examples.  Take a look at:
