1. Will ADHD children go to school one year later?
The first is about the age of admission. If parents notice, they find that their children are lacking in some learning abilities. For example, in kindergarten, it is difficult to sit still, it is difficult to be quiet, and it is difficult to listen to the teacher's instructions. Or a child who has been diagnosed with ADHD by a doctor, then the matter of entering school after one year can be considered.
Jeremy, a researcher at the London School of Health? Brown said: "in the same grade, the academic performance and behavior of children of the same age can differ by almost a whole year."
In the same grade, it is more difficult for children to concentrate Jeremy? Brown found through research: "In the same grade, young children may find it more difficult to concentrate in class, leading to an increase in the diagnosis of ADHD." In this study, researchers from the London School of Hygiene and Medical Sciences reviewed the electronic medical records of more than 654.38 million schoolchildren in the UK. The study found that children born in the last quarter of a year are 36% more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than those born in the first quarter of the same year.
Brown explained: "This study is not to determine the cause of ADHD, but to find the relationship between ADHD and various factors." After entering school, younger children may find it more difficult to integrate into older children and keep up with their learning progress. Poor academic performance and poor peer relationship may have a negative impact on children's mental health.
2. Children can't keep up with their studies. Do you want to consider repeating a grade?
In principle, the Regulations on Primary School Management promulgated by the Ministry of Education does not encourage repetition or skipping. According to the current law, a small number of students with mental retardation can apply for repetition. For students who need to drop out of school due to illness, they need to issue a diagnosis certificate from a people's hospital at or above the county level to go through the formalities of dropping out of school, or they can repeat a grade. However, in practice, the management of student status is very strict everywhere. Repetition belongs to the change of student status, and the relevant provisions should be made by the provincial education administrative department.
However, many provinces and cities have actually abolished the repeat reading system. For students who are particularly difficult to adapt, it is common for schools to ask their parents to accompany them or ask them to drop out of school. Many experts suggest: don't repeat the grade. Even if the child's mood meets the re-reading requirements, the family can apply, but is this really the case? In fact, many studies show that repeating a grade does not help children significantly improve their grades. Moreover, children will have a lot of frustration. This "re-learning" thing is simply more torture for ADHD children who are easy to get bored.
Children who fail a grade often lose interest in school and study. In the future, they will have more problems in their communication with their peers and often become more aggressive. Dr. Buckley also found that ADHD children who repeat grades are more likely to drop out of school before graduating from high school. The sooner you repeat a grade, the greater the harm. Statistics abroad show that 23%~40% of ADHD children have stayed at least once before going to high school, and most of them occur in the lower grades of primary schools. If conditions permit, I'd rather study for a year at night.
3. Children have great conflicts with classmates and teachers in class. Do you want to change classes or transfer?
This issue is controversial. There is feedback from parents. After the children transfer to another school, their feelings are greatly improved, the class environment is relatively relaxed, and their learning attitude has also improved. Some parents also said that after the transfer, they mainly consider transferring from private schools to private schools. Although the tuition fee varies greatly, it is better to communicate with teachers more. The most important issue, which is also considered by many parents, is that transfer involves many changes.
Children with ADHD have weak adaptability, and it takes a long time to adapt to another environment. Therefore, transfer is not a panacea. After all, children's problems exist. No matter where they go, they must face them and actively solve them.
