My 1st grader ......?

Please don't let anyone push ADHD on you. It gets used to describe boys being boys quite often because teachers aren't equipped to deal with the fact that boys (and girls for that matter) need to be more physically busy than school allows. My boys are all very bright intellectually, but my oldest had difficulty with the tediousness of school in general and they were always pushing for me to get him diagnosed. We have since started homeschooling him (he is gifted in addition to being "boyish" so his difficulties were compounded) and things are going much better. You son may not care if his work is getting done--if he doesn't see a reason for it, he could just check out because it doesn't interest him. If your primary concern is behavior, what worked well for us while our son was still in public school was to talk to his teacher about which area he most had difficulty focusing in. We started a "star" system with him where the teacher would give him a star for accomplishing his task well, and when he reached 5 stars he got an ice cream cone from Baskin Robbins. It really helped him because he then had motivation. Good luck--boys in the classroom are already in a difficult spot, and with your son being so young as well it's an added factor. He'll grow, but he needs your support more than anything.

Perhaps he's talented and demands to be located within the 'Gifted Program" This might location him with others of the equal age/intellegence and be difficult to him. At 7 yrs historical he does not have the adulthood to understand why different kids in his grade might not be as sensible as he's. Talk with the management on the institution and advocate placement checking out. He would possibly very good have a top IQ and being with 'typical' classmates is not the correct location for him.

o this same thing happened to my sister. she is 10 now but its been happening over the last few years or so we got the tests done on her. but they said she doesnt have adhd. she would tell my mom her homework was finished and lye my mom found out when her teachers called. but they put her in special learning classes like resource rooms and she is doing much better.

What does he like to do while he at home?

for example-he like to watch cartoon and eat candy

Here what you do:

1: Tell him that if he don't do his work in school, you'll won't let him watch TV.

2. If that doesn't work, Tell him if he do his work in school, you'll going to buy him a candy or ice cream.

That always work for me.

as a last resort, try bribing him....say that if he behaves and does well...he can get a ds lite or something...they're about $115. and then continue to give him games or accesories for the ds if he continues to do well....and if he does not do well or if he misbehaves then take away the ds lite...but use this as a last resort
