RE: Children with Special Needs #3 ADHD - Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder
Thanks for this post! I really wish their were more teachers with your take on the busy bees! That picture of the lady with the smoke coming out her ears is exactly the reaction I have when I hear about ADHD.. it’s so normal for children to be busy right up until they are 8-12 even and the classroom environments are just not suitable for their phase of development.. while I understand there are a few people that really battle with concerntration, I really believe they are the minority and the mainstream school system is just not natural and with the ever increasing work loads they are stuffing into the curriculums for the kids the more and more “ADHD” is becoming a problem- but to me it’s just not natural for little kids to be in a classroom environment from younger and younger ages.. the other factor is also of course diet- our diets have become so overprocessed for convenience sake that we are developing many unnatural ailments too..
@wildwanderer thank you for your comment. Kids must run and be wild, but I think our society has grown into a set-up where both parents must work to make hencemeat and then the kids are enrolled into "schools"way to early. They do not get the appropriate amount of time to run and be wild, to discover and just be a kid.
I am fortunate to live outside of town on a farm with a nanny that can look after my kids while I work, and they can still run wild. Easiest way and mind I say cheapest way to get rid of all my son's energy.
Oh that is so perfect! I’m homeschooling / unschooling my kids at the moment because I believe the exact same thing..
I wish I could live on a farm! Do you feel safe on the farm here in SA?
