With the holidays a month behind us, our kids might be feeling a letdown now that there isn't much excitement to look forward to. What you can do.
, standing at the bus stop with not a glimmer of sunlight to be seen? It’s hard not to ask, “What’s there to look forward to now?”Students without ADHD might be content to look forward to spring break, but for a child with ADHD, that can seem too far away. People with ADHD tend to operate within a short-term frame of mind; long term is not a concept we grasp with ease. Motivation comes from the expectation of a relatively quick pay-off, which is simply not always possible.
1. Cash in one of those gift cards to Target or Wal-Mart and get your child some new school supplies. It might seem a bit wasteful or indulgent, but giving your child a crisp new notebook, some fun pens, and a new pencil case is an inexpensive but fun way to cheer up, encourage, and support her as she returns to school. When my daughter starts school in a couple of years, I think I will hold back on some of those Christmas presents and institute a back-to-school celebration dinner complete with her favorite meal and a couple of shiny presents in the form of school supplies.
3. Teachers can also take the time to highlight some fun upcoming school activities that are already on the calendar — sporting events, plays, dances, contests, and the like. For younger students, teachers can consider introducing a new classroom routine and getting the students with ADHD involved first.Whether you use the above suggestions or not, the key here is to remember that students with ADHD need extra help getting back on track and keeping their heads in the game.
