I’m so glad I found your page! I think my 6 year old has ADHD, he hasn’t been diagnosed yet. He has been struggling with focus and sitting still in school. I get about 2 emails a week regarding his focus in class and his inclusive behavior. His teacher and I are starting to think it’s beyond his control. I’m looking to learn ways to help him. Thank you for starting this channel!
I really appreciate this so much 😊 Thank YOU for watching and your feedback. You’re in his corner and a great support already. And that’s amazing you can partner with his teacher to figure out what’s best. 💕
thank you, I really do appreciate the idea of focusing on the long run relationship. And I’ve never thought about the number of comments they receive everyday and how those would hurt their feelings and make them even more struggling in regulating their emotions. I am in tears but thank you so much for this.
Aww, my intention is never to make a parent feel guilty or bad. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing. Being a parent, especially a parent to a child with ADHD is hard, and you are doing the best you can. Focusing on their strengths and making sure they know they are valued is a great way to prioritize your relationship with them.
My ADHD child is super happy-go-lucky. We have matured out of the impulse control issues he had in K-2nd grade but now in 4th grade, he just simply does not do his class work. He brings it home so we can do it together. But how do I explain, he needs to do work in school? We are considering going back to homeschooling him...
Definitely, the stuff kids with adhd struggle with can change over time and when demands are different. For kids who are struggling at school, keeping an open dialogue with the teacher can be helpful. Having all the grown ups (or as many as possible & are willing) on the same page who work with a child can create more consistent expectations and hopefully make it easier for kids to succeed. Of course, all families should make decisions that seem best for their child and family, and homeschooling can be a good fit for some. 😊
Thanks for being here! This is a great question, and like many things, I think it depends on the situation and child. For a kid who has ADHD, focusing their attention can be genuinely tough to do. They are not trying to NOT pay attention on purpose. Their brains are just busy. Making direct eye contact (for kids who are comfortable with that), and using some kind of physical touch (if appropriate for the relationship/setting) like a hand on their shoulder during an instruction, can help to better grab their attention. Giving a direct 1:1 instruction, like “next please ____ “ vs. to the entire classroom or family can also make it easier for them. Also directions that are a little more specific with a reminder of the actual task, like “eyes on me” or “please write the next sentence” or “put your coat on the hook” tell them exactly what to do, instead of simply “pay attention” that’s harder for them to do/understand. Hope that helps!
@@DoctorJacque I saw somewhere kids with ADHD gets tired of hearing pay attention when like you said they don’t mean it. These tips definitely help. Thanks for answering my question.
Most providers will not evaluate for adhd before age 4, and many not until age 6. The main reason is that many symptoms of adhd overlap with what we see during typical toddler/preschool development, like a short attention span or a high need for physical movement. Also, to be diagnosed with adhd, the symptoms need to appear in at least two different settings, like at home and at school. We often don’t have consistent reports from multiple settings when kids are really young. That being said, many parents of kids who do later receive a diagnosis of adhd can often look back at when the child was younger and see some of the signs. If you are concerned about something you’re seeing, talking with your child’s medical doctor is a good place to start.
Thanks for your feedback! I’m trying to slow it down a bit in future videos, especially with some of the more informational topics. There is closed captioning too, if that helps!

First time here! Thanks for this video. What kind of language can Parents, Family, or Teachers use instead of “pay attention, hello pay attention”

What questions do you have about parenting kids with ADHD at home?
Can we detect ADHD at the age of 1.6 year?
