“Dear Teacher”: A video for the student with ADHD

Children diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) generally don’t behave in the classroom as teachers expect, leading teachers to take a number of steps, which on the other hand aren’t always the most appropriate. these children’s shoes, we might have a better understanding of how they see their situation in school.

It is easy to judge, get angry and take solutions that, from our point of view, are valid, however, it can worsen what we really want to do, which is for the little ones to learn, maybe they are paying. attention, even if it is not in a socially accepted way. Maybe we think they don’t want to learn, when it’s actually something they like. Are you ready to listen to them? Then watch the video below:

  • O comportamento que um aluno com TDAH costuma demonstrar é uma grande dificuldade para controlar.
  • Equilibrar e administrar suas emoções.
  • Por esse motivo.
  • Estas podem se manifestar na hora menos indicada e da forma menos apropriada.
  • Esta falta de controle faz com que seus sentimentos sejam expressados de uma forma intensa e descontrolada.
  • Uma forma que.
  • Para os olhos dos adultos.
  • Corresponde a uma conduta imatura.

Immaturity, compared to children your age, is not the cause in this case, or at least maturity in the classic sense of the term, we are dealing with children, they are small and therefore immature, or were they all born mature?Trying to punish a student with ADHD from acting so inappropriately is an unnecessary exercise, you have to work on emotional management, not punish behaviors that have been adopted without malice.

When a student with ADHD is punished for controlling and suppressing their emotions, you can assume the answer they will have: they will be defensive, not knowing all this means that the student with ADHD is denounced, labeled and their feelings of insecurity are inadvertently encouraged, which will not be beneficial in any way.

“I’m not below normal,” I’m worthless, nor am I less capable, I just work differently.

Do we want children with this disorder to have low self-esteem, is that what we teach in school?Just because they’re not learning as planned, maybe we should wonder if, instead of trying to change them, we shouldn’t change the way we teach. A sitting, still, static child listening to information he doesn’t understand. who are adults, who behave like old people, but we don’t realize they’re just children.

Children with ADHD need to move, to unleash their creativity. No child can sit and be very still! Even if they move, it doesn’t mean they are distracted, it is their way of learning. You are as still as statues, you cannot do that.

There is no need to reprimand or punish them for looking out the window or away, we’ve done it countless times and it’s fine. In a minute or less, we can refocus our attention, it comes naturally. But imposing as a penalty not being entertained is something terrible for them, who only need activity. Think that children need to disconnect, like us. Do we really encourage them to learn by preventing them from resting, relaxing or playing?

Kids with ADHD need more support, more help, if they don’t get it, they won’t be able to do what they’re asked because they won’t know how to do it, patience and calm will be two essential qualities to be able to explain what they need and clarify any doubts they may have. Although, perhaps, the problem is that we have said something that contains a lot of information.

Here we come to an important point. Many children disconnect because they receive a lot of information they don’t understand. There is also the opposite, children who get bored because they don’t get enough information. Finding the balance between these two extremes has a lot to do with art. For children with ADHD, it should be noted that they mainly have difficulty working simultaneously with a large amount of information, especially if this information is acquired statically.

“If you dare teach, make sure you learn. “-John Cotton Bono-

If there’s one thing kids with this disorder complain about is that you accept the way they learn, understand, and understand what they’re told, your brain isn’t the same as other people’s, but that doesn’t mean you’re not as capable as other students. They just need patience, less punishment and more understanding.

Ignoring the reason for the various disorders or what it is like to live with them makes us act like true ignorants with children who want to learn, but we do not know how to give them what they ask for, they should not be saturated with information. , we cannot expect them to get bored and then internalize knowledge, and we must not punish them because that is how we express our frustration with them. Kids with ADHD are smart and want to learn, they’re doing the best they can and they deserve us to do it. work for them too.
