[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 575232, member: 1514"] Okay, I do know some wont agree with me but I do think this is a time he needs to be learning at least how to learn. I think you need to work on this. J isnt doing well with what he is doing and very soon, if he doesnt already understand it, he is going to figure out that he is not like the others and he will start to feel that he is either bad or dumb. You want to avoid that at all costs. This is where Im not entirely sure a small dose of a stimulant wouldnt help him. The walking around his desk without one on one attention is classic ADHD. However, since you are against this, I think you need to find a school that can work for him. Personally I do think he really does need to learn these skills at this age. Im not entirely sure what skills they are trying to teach him but if he were in the US, he would have to know (I think he is in kindergarten right) all his alphabet's in upper and lower case and their sounds. We have a sight word list they have to know before passing on to first grade. Im not entirely sure what the math requirements are because I wasnt around for kindergarten. I do know more of what Keyana can do in the middle of first grade though. She can read pretty fluently small words. It shocked me. I handed her a book and she read it to me without much help. She can add and subtract. I didnt get to actually do much with her so I dont know much but as she is with me more I will know more. Maybe tutors would help J. [/QUOTE]
