ADHD
After two days of full time at school - 8/14 - my son goes into crisis. In tears he tells me that he no longer has time to rest, to play, to be with friends.
All the good will to explain to him that if he didn't waste time (when he goes to wash his hands I feel like contacting 'Who saw him?'), If he concentrated on doing his homework and limited himself to doing the pauses between one subject and another, perhaps a little time for himself would find it.
Nothing to do, he alone against the school world that haunts him.
Already from the first posts I stressed that the ADHD problem is very serious but if you find with a son with a 'str ... o' character, the problem becomes magnified. It is true that the tasks are so many, compared to elementary school, in addition to the irritating fact that leafing through the notebooks on returning from school you see only a few hints to a theory and kilometers of exercises per task. The big work has to be done at home. Perhaps it will be due to the fact that those who planned the timetable of the subjects had the bizarre idea of not putting almost any subject with two consecutive hours. Can you imagine what can be done in an hour of math - which would then be 50/55 minutes? If at the same time you have to correct the flood of given tasks? I remember that mathematics, Italian, foreign language, were spread over two hours. For example, for mathematics, you started correcting your homework, a few questions here and there, you started the theory of a new topic and then exercises to make sure you understood. What was wrong with that? Ditto for Italian, especially for grammar.
Now I have to try to figure out how to act so as not to have to spend afternoons doing homework with a curmudgeon who has the same speed of execution as a sloth.
