I Can See Why She’s Having Problems
We recently attended an open house at my daughter’s school and I could see why she has been having problems concentrating. All four walls were covered with posters, student artwork, numbers, letters, and a calendar. There was even stuff hanging from the ceiling! I took a picture of a wall to post here, but I must have accidently deleted it.
One of the pictures I took of my daughter that night captured what she must be like in class. I squatted down in front of her desk and had her hold up her name card and smile. She held up the card and looked my way, but was having a tough time keeping herself focused on me. I clicked the shutter and that very instant her eyes glanced away. Looking at the photograph now, I can see what it’s like to be a child with ADHD. Her body is facing the camera, but her eyes and attention are somewhere else. She occupies a seat in the class, but she struggles to keep her attention in the classroom.
