Common Questions and Answers about Adhd symptoms in kindergarten
adhd
My 6 year old daughter (Kindergarten) is not classified as learning disabled,however, we suspect she has some ADHD symptoms. She was evaluated about 2 years ago and our pediatrician felt she couldn't be further evaluated until she was 6 or 7. Given these symptoms, she seems to function pretty well in school and with new friends.
Our greater concern is her excessive hugging.
I assume your daughter is in kindergarten. Is it an all day kindergarten? Was she in preschool and was this where the ADHD was noted?
s just a way of trying to control his impulses, however even when he is speaking to other parents, it is very noticiable - If anyone has any suggestion, or recommendations, it would be greatly appreciated - I know I have rambled, but I am just trying to avoid medicating my son if it is not needed - Also note that last year his Kindergarten teacher thought he was way behind his peers in learning, so the school psychologist tested his IQ and he was off the charts, very smart in retaining informati
My son Brian will be 7 in January. He has severe ADHD and could never sit still, take a nap, or be quite. I could never give him a time out because he couldn't sit. I remember just trying to give him a bath was frustrated I couldn't wipe the soap on him fast enough and he would be moving. Or cleaning he just followed behind me messing it up. I am a working mom and he was always in day care and preschool until kindergarten and they were always expressing there concerns.
Hi I have posted some earlier problems regarding my son in kindergarten. His teacher is quite critical of him in the classroom, says that he does not pay attention and cannot work independantly.
I have been lucky enough to help out in the classroom and observe him at the same time. He can be a little inattentive but is quiet and competes the work if it is of interest to him. His teacher rarely gives him any praise for good behaviour or work,, but will give certain other kids praise all the time.
My 5 1/2 year old started kindergarten 3 days ago, and I have had 2 phone calls from the principal. He was diagnosed with ADHD, but i think the diagnoses was wrong. He cries alot/whines when he doesnt get his way. He gets sad alot too. Talking about death, and angels, and growing up. He has anger problems, hitting, throwing things, kicking people....He has broke windows, and a television already.
My son is 5 and going through the same things, I too have tried what seems like everything. His father is also military n is stationed in Washington state(we are in Texas). I don't feel as though my son has ADHD but I am no doctor-he has days where he gets 'green' cards, and he is very sweet and calm at home. Maybe our kids are easily overwhelmed? Hope you get suggestions soon, God bless.
He has been exhibiting these problems from as far back as I can remember, Where I lived previously, we had a big yard, it was cooler and quite, he would stay on the veranda and tell anybody who was passing by hello, he was almost two when we moved to another location it was the complete opposite. He would cry a lot, it took him a while to adjust to his new environment.
My son is 6 year old and in Kindergarten. At school he is calm. Pays attention. Has no problem learning. He's a good student. But as soon as he gets home he is hyper until bedtime! He has always been a hyper child but he can also sit down and focus when he knows he has to. So I am completely confused. At home he shows signs of ADHD or ADD but at school he doesn't. What could it be? He tells me he knows school is for learning so he don't want to be hyper there.
s child has issue in kindergarten. My son just started kindergarten and he is already on an IEP. He is agressive with other children, to the point that he is isolated from the other students because they are afraid of him. For half the day, he will cooperate with the Resource teacher but by 11 am, he wants to go back to his classroom. When he is told no, he throws a tantrum that involves kicking, screaming, throwing chairs etc.
All you can do is try to titrate his exposure to groups of children - the smaller the group the better. If you have any choice about the size of his grouping in kindergarten, select the smaller group(s). Who exactly is 'throwing out' the ADHD issue? Just as people should not casually suggest such a condition, you alos should not automatically reject it as a 'false diagnosis'. Should it be considered? Sure, if there is reason (e.g., excessive activity level) to do so.
My six year old son is lagging somewhat in his verbal skills, and we are having him do kindergarten again. We moved during his first year of kindergarten and he was out for a month, we home schooled in between. We moved from a state with easier curriculum and lower standards, to a state and county that has literally the highest standards public education offers. He was completely lost and we tried to catch him up.
My daughter has been in kindergarten since August. Just about everyday she has "red light" for disrupting the class ie making silly noises or talking while the teacher is teaching. I am at my whits end with this the teacher now says if she doesn't stop she will have to send her out during lessons and my daughter will have to have lesson during recess. I have taken her toys away sent her to bed after dinner and other punishments and I just don't know what to do anymore....
He was in a preschool program last year that dealt with situations like this and he did AMAZING. He is now in kindergarten and things were going great the first week and now I am getting letters that he is "out of bounds" screaming, yelling, running around. He is on Adderall, Risperdal, and Clonidine..The medications work really well, but I don't know if he is having problems being at school all day or if the medicine just isn't working anymore...I just need some help....
He had been in a program in the public school since he was 3. Then in kindergarten and 1st grade has been in a co-teaching environment. He is smart and very affectionate but has still been having issues in school at least once a week where he will push another child or hit one. Then he loses privledges at school like recess, which he loves. He knows this behavior is not acceptable and when asked he says he doesn't think before he does it and doesn't know why he does it.
I have to say that I am surprised that a three-year-old was given an ODD diagnosis based on your description of him.
I had my son evaluated at age 3 (he was misbehaving at the home daycare he attended two hours a day, two or three days a week) and the woman who evaluated him said that there was nothing wrong with him--he was very intelligent and bored and he needed more stimulation--he needed to be challenged and kept busy.
I am in a classroom with 5,6, & 7 year olds (kindergarten). Let me tell you, NONE of them sit still on the carpet. I never teach when EVERYONE is quiet!! Developmentally it just does not happen. Children have to LEARN "school behaviors" We are at the end of their kindergarten year (most of them went to preschool) and most of them still cannot sit still and not talk. In fact I had this same issue in 1st grade it is normal developmentally!!
He will be 6 in June he is in kindergarten I am holding him back in school....This is his teachers first year teaching...He is a good kid does not get to hyper but when it comes to his school work he has trouble paying attention and focusing..I have talked with his doctor and he does not think he is old enough to be tested but they have tested him at school and it came back positive just not sure what to do now..He done two years in preschool and also had trouble paying attention....
