As a follow-up to this excellent presentation we wanted to remind our parents who may have a kiddo who has an ADD/ADHD diagnosis (or a spouse) about this awesome blog post from last semester that deals specifically with tips to keep in mind when communicating with those persons!
Did you actually know that "... forcing ADHD kids to sit still and stop fidgeting actually impedes their learning."?? Be sure to check out this quick read - 'Stop Fidgeting' Is Exactly the Wrong Thing to Say to ADHD Kids.
If your kiddo is a bonafide fidgeter (I made that up but we are going to go with it!) then check out some of these easy "fidget friendly" toys to help assist kids in balancing their need for movement with concentration!
Thanks,
