6 year old with attention problem in school
by Aidanndela, Nov 05, 2008 03:03PM
My son turned 6 year old in September and he is having problem paying attention in school (1st Grade), although he knows the material, the rest of his classmate are completing their work before him. According to his teacher he is usually distracted; she is suggesting that he see the school psychologist. She even stated that once she sits next to him he is able to complete the work with no assistance. I think it is a manturity issue; do you think this is ADHD?

His Mom found a website/ebook (The ADHD/ADD Natural Remedy Report) that was incredibly helpful: http://www.clickaudit.com/goto/?138318
For some people ADHD/ADD is caused primarily by inherited genetic factors. While others experience symptoms due to their diet, hormonal imbalances or even allergies.
Some of the things she found on this site that helped him the most were about nutritional deficiencies ... Omega 3 Fatty Acids. There was also information on how massage calms not only the body, but also calms the brain!
She also set up a reward system, which my nephew thinks is a game ... He has improved tremendously!
Hope this is helpful,
Keith
P.S. Here's that link again to the "The ADHD/ADD Natural Remedy Report"
