I don't know if this will help you better understand but it is all about focusing with your child. I only now understand after surviving an accident. I fell fifteen feet off of my roof and suffered a concussion for many months. The doctors said that the damage to the brain would go away but that it was similiar to what children with ADD have in that it is extrememly difficult to focus.
When I would walk into a room, I didn't know where to look or what to focus on listening to. When our brains are working normally we filter out all of that other stuff without even thinking about it. I could hear the lights buzz, the tv was playing and I could hear every conversation that was going on...........it was so confusing. My mind would hurt and I would get a headache.
Try to have as few distractions as possible. NO lights during the day, fans and air conditioners are hard too, tv off when you want him to focus on a job or listen to you.
Practice focusing. That is what he really needs. Give him something to look at and make a game of it. Show him how to focus on that object and remember as much as he can about it.

Focus on reading: Read one page to him and then ask him to repeat it. Don't make him sit.........if he wants to stand let him.
Children of ADD need to move a lot. Short trips to the kitchen to go and get a glass of water, run to the door and make sure it is closed, go up in your room and find your favorite book. etc.
Then increase the number of tasks. Go into your room. Find your shoe. Come to me and spin around three times. Now repeat the directions. Do you know what you are going to do? Ready set go!!
Behavior and time charts work really well too.

Go on line and google it. There are tons of ideas from diet to exercises. Many things you can do just need to become more aware.

My son is adhd. You are entitled to have a dating. The lifestyles with an adhd youngster is tricky to mention the least. Homecoming must be a low degree peaceable endeavor. You can compliment him lavishly whilst he comes house and is low key, whilst it's the wrong way round there must be consequenses, day out or cast off favourite toy. Adhd kids must be trained special approaches, and their meds are a have got to. Their brains are like scrambled eggs w/o meds. They will difference dramatically whilst the meds are not wanted . My health care professional mentioned it was once merciless to not provide meds whilst wanted. well success it dosen't final endlessly.

Go to regular sessions of counselling with him. Unless you have a stable, happy, non-abusive marriage...I would always suspect a diagnosis of ADHD because instability, torn between parents, inconsistent parenting causes the same symptoms of ADHD in a child. However...true ADHD is a brain chemistry faulty wiring thing...like dyslexia.

If your son is on medication, to control his actions....it may be a good thing.....but its just postponing the inevitable. Get him to counselling too.

Answer 5

Go to www.chadd.org to see if there is a support group in your area for parents of kids with ADHD... they can be great for swapping information.
Another site... http://www.addconsults.com/store/index.php?cPath=130&osCsid=2b97b03887dad38ad108c813eebafd5a... sells some great products that work well for kids with ADHD.

When you are telling your son to do something, give him one direction at a time... like, "Get your shoes. Good job, now get your backpack!" instead of long directions like, "Go get your shoes, your backpack, and your lunch box, and tell Johnny it's time to go!" Sometimes it also helps to shorten the sentence, like say, "Get shoes" instead of "Get your shoes."

Give him lots of routines in his life, things you do in the same order each day. Make up silly songs together to help him remember the steps to the routines

Work to find things that he is good at and can succeed in. If he has a favorite sport or a special talent, give him lots of chances to do it, so he can shine!

Let him know you love him, just the way he is, and that you'll never stop loving him...
