I have been using a visual timer with my AuDHD son and it has helped so much! He works best unsupervised, I set him up with the timer and make sure he knows what the task is and move to another room, we are homeschooling at the moment. He calls me when he is done.
Thank you for this video. I am one overwhelmed teacher with three kids in my classroom with troubling behavior with not much resources to help out. This strategies will help me a lot.
I wish this was ADHD friendly. I know this is for parents and teachers to help their kids but adults with ADHD who have been recently diagnosed are still trying to figure out how to help themselves. Having blocks of repetitive text isn't good for the inability to focus. I would highly recommend you take the style or at least a note from How To ADHD. I find it easier to follow her guidance.
Then search for a Video fitting your requirements or Go See a therapist? I myself have Adhd and i know too well that children adhd and adult adhd are nearly 2 different things. So please go cry under someone else’s video that is actually wrongly built
I'm using these strategies. Thank you. Teachers should know this?? I don't understand why these strategies are kept "secret" parents need to implement this in order to help thier kids.
Good news, I am a student teacher in college and we are taught all of this and WAY more. About many different learning styles and the 13 categories of disabilities
@@Kelly-yo5uz parents need to know this as well in order to properly support thier children, and the teachers as well. I work with my sons teachers so we are doing the same stuff at home as at school. Consistency!
Thank you i have a 9 y.o she does most of this.Im shocked only me and one other person is listening to this.i think everyone should.my daughter also has anxiety im so sad that she thinks she is disappointing us just so much pressure for a child 😥
I just subscribed. Thank you for this information. I don’t understand WHY, there are always dislikes in anything and everything and as such information as this one.
My 7yo son struggles with ADHD behaviors both at school and at home. It’s hard to get him help when I myself feel like I’ve always struggled with attention deficit tendencies. It’s really hard to get from point A to Point B for your child when you have a hard time staying focused as well. 😞
Even while watching this video I am getting distracted and loosing attention very often n easily. This problem of adhd or whatever i have, which i believe is adhd is taking upon my days and wasting alot of my time and money. I invested in a very expensive course this month and i am facing issues in understanding what the professor is saying. While he is teaching, even after concentrating ( trying to ) i cannot focus, i am in a lost world with too many desires and too many wasted ideas that i cannot or i havent achieved yet. It so much feels like i cannot do complex things. But i believe i can do it, i just need to figure out how? Because i have done it before when i was child, i remember i was able to do complex things. I think its a matter of habits that I have developed which have shaped my mind into the state i am struggling right now. I just need a lot of complex things to be done so that my brain gets used to seeing all this. I hope my story/whatever was somewhat interesting for anyone. Any suggestions, help is much much appreciated, because I am still in my struggling phase, just a quick fact, i cannot even focus on video games or movies for a very long time. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you for sharing your story! If it's possible, I would look into possibly getting medicated for ADHD. I have been medicated for ADHD for only a handful of weeks and it is really changing my life. I would also consider maybe getting screened for other mental illnesses, I am not a doctor, but not being able to focus on things that are engaging and enjoyable sounds a little like depression. Even if you are not particularly sad, sometimes depression can cause major fatigue and disinterest. I've been medicated for depression for a little over a year and I just want to say, I thought there was a lot of things wrong with my character and who I am as a person, but in reality it was mostly mental illnesses. My mental illnesses affected more parts of my behavior than I previously thought. So I want you to remember that if you are trying, it is enough, there's nothing wrong with you as a person, you are just mentally ill probably. And my final suggestion is to really limit your time on social media and your phone in general. The apps on our phones are designed to make us have the shortest attention span possible. I deleted my fb over a year ago and I don't think I'll ever get one again. I think that's all I have to say, if anything is hard to understand, just let me know and I can elaborate.
Practice meditation strictly everyday for 20min and some healthy medication suggested by your personal doctor ..increase focus on one task step by step increase the timer... Dont jump into anything and endup with unfinished
Pay attention for 5 minutes and then give yourself a break. Sit back again when you're ready. Do nothing that puts you in guilt. For sometime involve in anything which makes you happy.
When my mom was in college she asked if she could record her professors to go back and review later because she would get distracted and miss stuff. It was particularly hard for her to concentrate when they went through dinosaurs.
I have adhd but my mum yells if I mention that I’m struggling with school or can’t sit still she makes me frustrating she won’t even tell school that I need help!help!
Your teacher should have noted that you have adhd. The teacher will then discuss this with your parents. Have you been diagnosed with adhd by a psychologist or did you diagnose yourself???
@@xx_lilly_xx5367 as a parent with ADHD and trying to learn as much as I can about it I can say first hand that I can understand to certain degree why a parent wouldn’t want to medicate their child. Perhaps to your mom you are PERFECT and would rather not have medication change any part of you mentally…. That is how I feel about my son who has ADHD, I too do not want to have him on medication. Being a parent is soooo extremely difficult and I can imagine that your mom is trying her best with what skills she has. These decisions can be life altering and they are not easy ones. Hoping you can be understanding and I truly wish you all the best and that your struggles lessen or get better.
Thank you very much for this video, can you please tell us about how to control adhd child behaviour at home during this pandemic when children can not go out, how to ask them not to be stubborn about everything and other basic behaviour therapies ? Thank you again.
Practicing Yoga, mindful meditation, breathing exercises and backward counting on a regular basis helps, ADHD behavioural problems reduce a lot, alongwith medications and other therapies.
This is good information but not presented in an ADHD friendly format. Too much blocks of texts, the reader is too monotonous and not enough visual. I am already getting distracted and have not been able to finish the video properly as I keep having to go back, as I missed points, because it was too monotonous and boring. It's be actually quite and ironic video.
I remember growing up when I was in 2nd grade, my teacher was reading a picture book. She started talking to the class and I started reading out loud while she was talking to the class. I got in trouble for that at home. I had a hard time paying attention. This was back in the early 90’s. I asked my mom if she ever paid attention to my behavior. She said no. My mom doesn’t believe in all this stuff. I discovered as an adult that she didn’t care either. All she knew was that I was getting the bare minimum so she wouldn’t get in trouble by CPS. Weird thing is she retired from being a CPS social worker who was given powers to remove abused and neglected kids. So weird. That’s why I never had a 504 plan. Yes I am very angry with her.
My 11 year old son was put in a small room because of 1 incident all day he come home crying saying he wishes he was dead because they locked him in a room all day by himself
Thank you so much. Very helpful. Can you please say more how tp get a ADHD-child to love writing. That is a major problem for our kid. I must do most of the writing to keep him out of trouble. And also not good for him, he misses the importantant lessons in the reading and writing of compregention test, for excample. Thanks.
@@peycates I don't know what age the posters kid is- but the only issue with that is that school and teachers typically expect kids to use pencils, since they can erase / correct mistakes. So some don't allow that 😕 My kid has the same problem and has been told before to stick to pencil. Sucks. I get it, of course, but when you're trying to find something to keep them engaged.. it sucks.
@@cyansalvatore6011 You're right, there are those too! And I hope teachers understand and give some leeway. I ended up taking my son out of school to homeschool tho, so he can write with whatever color he wants now (: 💜
One thing I can say dosnt help In this video is a graphic organizer dosnt work from people I’ve talked to and including myself if it’s out of site it’s out of my mine something has to be in front of the person due to the fact that people with adhd think a lot when I mean a lot it’s a lot
With all due respect, I have ADHD and want to get what she is saying but THIS is what causes “behaviors” in class. I WANT to learn but there is ZERO dopamine happening from being read at with lots of words in slides. Good points but difficult presentation to follow for anyone who has ADHD.
First of all, I think I may have just developed ADHD by listening to this incredibly monotonous (bored??) voice - I literally just fidgeted in my seat, rolled my eyes and resisted lots of urges to stand up and walk around (and throw a book). The strategies themselves were actually extremely useful, and I will def. tweak them to match the needs of my highschool students. The only thing I disagree with is the class reward for good behavior: I view this as collective punishment when the class does not do well - it's usually down to one or two students and then the whole class suffers. This can really kill motivation and nurture a lot of resentment amongst peers, so I would rethink that one.

To be fair, this video does nothing to actually keep someones attention. She’s literally reading from a book.

I have adhd but my mum yells if I mention that I’m struggling with school or can’t sit still she makes me frustrating she won’t even tell school that I need help!help!
@Gavin Rowe she won’t listen but the thing is she won’t give me the medication that I got prescribed with so I have been struggling a lot
Yes hon try to talk to your mom or speak with your guidance counselor & tell her to speak to your mom.
Your teacher should have noted that you have adhd. The teacher will then discuss this with your parents. Have you been diagnosed with adhd by a psychologist or did you diagnose yourself???
You tell the school you need help. You can do that, and get help from your teachers while.you are there. Sorry about your mom.
