HOME SCHOOLING FOR ADHD CHILD
Tags: adhd child home schooling, homeschooling a child

ADHD child is no ordinary child. Disciplining
and teaching an ADHD child is not an easy job for a non professional.
Parents of ADHD child sometimes
are their selves so confused, that at times they seem knocked out.
When parents of such special children consult me there is a long
list of why, how, when, who and more they ask. One common question
apart from medications
is about homeschooling children with ADHD.
Generally children suffering from ADHD are from 3-5 years of age,
which is preschool age and they need homeschooling at that age.
An ADHD child home schooling can make you go nuts. Unlike
other children he needs more time, more effort, more patience and
more attention to grasp a simple thing. It’s like teaching
a child how to brush your hair, which you usually don’t teach
them.
An ADHD child is too much demanding, in fact. Homeschooling a child
with ADHD need special guts, and here are few things for parents,
teachers and nannies to help these children.
1. BE PATIENT:
An ADHD child is
“ATTENTION DEFICIENT HYPERACTIVE CHILD” and you know
that. So be mentally prepared for someone who is difficult to make
sit, what to talk of teaching.
But you should not forget that it’s not his fault. And you
are doing this effort for his betterment. Now hold your breath and
get started.
2. PRE TEACHING EXTRAVAGANZA:
What is this? It’s fun. First give him a good diet
therapy meal, let him play for an hour, take him to wash room
and when everything is done and he has no excuses left, ask him
now it’s time to study.
3. WHAT TO TEACH FIRST:
Teach him first the thing he dislikes most. I know he dislikes
everything regarding study but I said “dislikes most”.
So by the end when he is about to run, he knows that a better thing
is there, it will make him sit.
In some cases this acts oppositely. The child gets fed up with
the boring start and runs away. You have to see what best suits
him.
4. FIRST GET HIM GOOD AT ORAL STUDIES:
Most of the children with ADHD also suffer with dyslexia and other
learning disorders.
They confuse between similar looking letters like b,d,p,q,l,t,m,n.
So first make them learn orally and when they are good at it, then
teach them to write.
5. USE UNCONVENTIONAL METHODS:
A copy, pencil, rubber, sharpener and a book won’t work here.
Believe me they don’t!!! Try using educational blocks, white
boards, markers, crayons, plaster chine, play dough, game tiles
and coloring books.
Try learning about the medium your child loves most. Teach him
mathematics with practical things like grains for addition and subtraction.
Balls, fruits, color pencils, anything that is countable.
6. DON’T FORGET TO GIVE A REWARD DAILY:
A prize, a gift or a reward in any form is always appreciated by
everyone. This will help your child to come to study on his own.
He won’t run away that frequently. And please…. NO FALSE
PROMISES TO HIM or all your effort will be gone.
Hope you’ll find these tips practical enough to get started.
Happy Parenting!!!!! (more on parenting
