How is your Child and/or Teenager with ADHD Behaving with the Holidays Looming Closer?

Have you noticed that your child/teenager is exhibiting the following behaviors more than usual during this holiday season?

·         It has become more difficult for your child to get his homework done

·         He  does not complete all of his homework

·         He “jumps” around from place to place in your house

·         His grades are lower than they were in previous quarters

·         He is more tense and/or anxious

·          He is insistent on doing what he wants to do, i.e., video games, working on the computer, etc.

·         He has difficulty sleeping

·         When you are conversing with him, he goes from topic to topic, without completing his thoughts

·         He interrupts

·         He forgets about what he is required to do at home

Please send me your comments to my question, so that I can make some suggestions as to what you can do to help your child/teenager through this difficult time.
