ADHD and Back-to-School - 15 Tips to Help Your Child Start Smart
By Felecia Sheffield PhD


There are over 49 million students in grades K-12 in the United States. The American Psychiatric Association (2000) estimates that 3-5% of the school-age population has an Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). So on any given day, roughly 1.5-2.5 million children diagnosed with ADHD are heading off to school each year. Although the start of the new school year is exciting as students get ready to meet new teachers, and make new friends, they also face the challenge of a new grade-level. These simultaneous adjustments and transitions after the summer break may be especially difficult for those children with ADHD. Below are some tips for helping your child start off the new school year successfully.

It must be so hard to deal with ADHD, its a hard situation changing grade levels so fast when so students catch on so quickly you are still have problems keeping up with one grade level to jumping up to another one so quickly, as soon as you start learning something all of a sudden you have to jump to something else. It must be so hard for them.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder affect 49 million students in grades k-12. Is better if parents observe this behavior early and help their children with this deficit to be organized in the school and home. I agree with the 15 tips doctor Sheffield have in her book to improve and help children to be successful in the future.

I so understand and agree with your views on the entire school information. I have gone to school and everyone knows me there and loves and takes care of my kids because they know how much I love them and also give them some slack on there jumping up and down "hyper self". Before anything I get a call to let me know what is going on.

By having a child with ADHD you must maintain some consistence in the lives. Because if something is not just right for them if throw them off track with the task at hand.
