outdoor tables and chairs for kids image
..........
We just had a parent teacher conference and the teacher said that our 6 year old son shows signs of ADD.
We'll be taking him to the Dr. for an official diagnosis, but would like to keep medicines like concerta, riddilin, etc. as a last resort if non-medicinal options don't work.
He doesn't display signs of ADHD...he's not hyper, just can't focus and is very easily distracted. The teacher's assistant pretty much has to stand over him to get his work completed.
Answer
1) Minimize how much sugar and caffeine, especially soda, that he has.
2) Make sure that he has adequate "play" time - let him run around at the park, sign him up for soccer or some other active sport.
3) Set a schedule and stick to it as much as possible, including meals, bedtime, "rise and shine" time, study time.
4) Create a quiet and specific place for him to sit down and study. desk, table, chair, light, etc, just for him, just for studying. even at 6 he can use the desk to do reading and other "homework."
"Signs of ADD" covers a whole lot of things, including just that you have a rambuncious boy who doesn't neatly toe the line for the teacher. We used to call it "being all boy." Kids don't get enoughplaytime and outdoor time these days and that energy has to come out some how.

What are some fun ideas to go on a date with my boyfriend ?
Las Vegas
Besides parties, which is all we do. Some alone time, or time away from the croud. Typical ideas are movie and dinner but I wanna keep it, interesting.
Answer
- A picnic! If the weather is nice enough, that is. You could try an indoor picnic, too, I guess, but outdoor would be better.
- Bake something together, like cookies! You get to spend time together doing something fun, plus at the end, you get delicious food to share!
- Play some sort of two person sport together, like tennis or table hockey.
- Go for a hike together.
- Build a fort out of blankets and chairs like you did when you were a kid!
That's all I can think of. Hope it helps!
