I thought I might give you another glimpse into our world of homeschooling multiple children, 2 of which have differing forms of ADHD.
If you are homeschooling one or more children with ADHD, you'll appreciate this website.
Homeschooling the ADHD Child
Homeschooling an ADHD child can be a real challenge. Here are some of the issues we deal with regularly in our home:
- Distractibility - cannot keep on task when given an assignment
- Frustration - low frustration levels when given an assignment that is confusing or repetitious
- Boredom - easily bored with repetitive tasks like spelling and handwriting, or math facts
- Clueless - unless you are working with a gifted child, you will reach times where the information just isn't understood
- Careless - sloppy work and careless mistakes
- Endless school days - unaware of the concept of time and prove this by taking 3 hours to complete 5 math problems
- Insanity - can drive even the sanest parent to question their sanity
- Noise - 3 or more children chattering away at the same time, tapping pencils, rolling desk chairs across the floor; child 2 distracts child 1 while child 3 has disappeared to who knows where
- Grace - God's grace is sufficient, for His power is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV)
