There is no simple answer, but being a Mother you will do it with time, a smile and the help of your family and friends.

That's what Mothers do!
God's help is good too, but you have to ask for that. I will put you on the list of things to do, and prey about. When it comes to kids, I think God always finds time to hear their preys too, so try asking for help together before studying, keep the lessons short and to the point and add in play times and jokes between subjects.

Answer 4

first of all---is she 5 years old or have you been dealing with this for 5 years....anyway it is .....to many Dr,s are quick to put kids on med,s . unless you have gotten more than one Dr.s opinion -i would not use any kind of medication on anyone under the age of 16. there are to many other stimuli's that can cause ADHD. my daughter became mentally challenged due to over medicating her with Rx haldol. please be very careful.. she was then diagnosed with tourettes syndrome only after they made their mistakes. do go to - children's hosp, in your area and if not one available--go to many pediatricians for the best care for your small one. if older and is having hyper & cant consontrate -try a mental health counsler first, cant' hurt -huh???

Answer 5

Here are some knowledges about ADHD that I want to share with you:

The child with ADHD who is inattentive will have 6 or more of the following symptoms:

-Has difficulty following instructions
-Has difficulty keeping attention on work or play activities at school and at home
-Loses things needed for activities at school and at home
-Appears not to listen
-Doesn't pay close attention to details
-Seems disorganized
-Has trouble with tasks that require planning ahead
-Forgets things
-Is easily distracted

The child with ADHD who is hyperactive/impulsive will have at least 6 of the following symptoms:


-Fidgety
-Runs or climbs inappropriately
-Can't play quietly
-Blurts out answers
-Interrupts people
-Can't stay in seat
-Talks too much
-Is always on the go
-Has trouble waiting his or her turn


Children who have ADHD may be difficult to parent. They may have trouble understanding directions. Children who are in a constant state of activity can be challenging for adults. You may need to change your home life a bit to help your child. Here are some things you can do to help:


-Make a schedule. Set specific times for waking up, eating, playing, doing homework, doing chores, watching TV or playing video games, and going to bed. Post the schedule where your child will always see it. Explain any changes to the routine in advance.
-Make simple house rules. It's important to explain what will happen when the rules are obeyed and when they are broken. Write down the rules and the results of not following them.
-Make sure your directions are understood. Get your child's attention and look directly into his or her eyes. Then tell your child in a clear, calm voice specifically what you want. Keep directions simple and short. Ask your child to repeat the directions back to you.
-Reward good behavior. Congratulate your child when he or she completes each step of a task.
Make sure your child is supervised all the time. Because they are impulsive, children who have ADHD may need more adult supervision than other children their age.
-Watch your child around his or her friends. It's sometimes hard for children who have ADHD to learn social skills. Reward good play behaviors.
Set a homework routine. Pick a regular place for doing homework, away from distractions such as other people, TV and video games. Break homework time into small parts and have breaks.
-Focus on effort, not grades. Reward your child when he or she tries to finish school work, not just for good grades. You can give extra rewards for earning better grades.
-Talk with your child's teachers. Find out how your child is doing at school--in class, at playtime, at lunchtime. Ask for daily or weekly progress notes from the teacher.

Hope that may help you!
Good luck!

Answer 6

she might need special classes so she can learn at her own pace, some kids even learn to fast and then get bored because they know all that stuff. when my little brother went to highschool (he has adhd) he had to take some advanced classes because he learned to quickly, but at home you had to sit with him and make sure he did the work. also you have to make sure they bring the work home with them.

its also important not to yell at a child with adhd when they do something wrong. they take things harder on them selves. good luck, it will be tough, but they are also fun to be with.

Answer 7

she's five?

these days we are all too quick to diagnose normal behavior as something else.

maybe she should start taking naps again. or put her to bed earlier. makes kids exhibit signs of adhd because they are trying to wake up/excite their brain. when they seem hyper it is because their brain activity is actually low.

this is the time they should take a nap.


please, take your kid off drugs. they shouldn't be doped to prevent them from being who they are.

There are 2 very important factors to consider. One is to eliminate sugars, the other is; serve coffee to calm them.
