[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 539628, member: 11791"] It's a nice theory, but... I haven't seen it. Time alone does make SOME difference when the problem is lack of maturity. But... not being able to focus? Get an evaluation. Not just a pediatrician's opinion. A comprehensive evaluation. They won't be able to really test for APDs at this age - but Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) kids [I]can have[/I] many of the same symptoms as ADHD kids, including not being able to sit still. For ADHD kids, it's hyperactivity... for Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) kids it's sheer boredom, because they can't follow what is going on around them. One thing to watch for is how well he does with multiple verbal commands in different environments... Can you ask him to take some tp to the bathroom, then get a specific thing from his room? Or go do three specific activities, in order, on the playground, especially if it is noisy? How well does he play with kids his own age? ADHD kids are typically immature. [/QUOTE]
