Why, we even get busy getting busy or maybe thinking about being busy :D No need to worry if these interests start to wane even without starting, as we know, women can be very fickle. But if it is an everyday event, a commonplace happening, with many other "signs" being present, maybe then we should start to get worried. Thanks Karen. :)</li> </ul> hi teacher julie. very informative article! like annamanila, i related to some of the characteristics you mentioned, specifically getting all worked up about PLANNING on how i will do something and then the interest fizzles out without me actually getting around to doing whatever it was i was planning to do… now i’m thinking what if i have undiagnosed adhd… hmmm.. but then again maybe i’m really just scatterbrained. again, thanks for the article, it’s very educational

  • Karen, moms tend to be like that since we are always busy with so many things. Why, we even get busy getting busy or maybe thinking about being busy :D No need to worry if these interests start to wane even without starting, as we know, women can be very fickle. But if it is an everyday event, a commonplace happening, with many other “signs” being present, maybe then we should start to get worried. Thanks Karen. :)

I read a book entitled DRIVEN TO DISTRACTION and its all about adhd and add in adults. I told my sister about these steps so that she could help her son, but unfortunately, it is hard for her to follow up these rules. I should say, impatience and inconsistency on her part actually made it more difficult for them both to modify her son's behavior. Now her son is in grade 5 and there are really very stressful moments in their home (which I am actually very concerned with.) This is a very good article Teacher Julie. I will let my sister read this :) Thanks! <ul> <li>Jing, I sent you an email re this. Thanks for the interest in my post.</li> </ul> I have a nephew diagnosed with adhd and honestly, all that you have said here are very true.

Children will follow what their parents doing. <ul> <li>Yes, especially when it is for their own good and everything has been explained to them.  Their success would greatly depend on the help of their parents.</li> </ul> I agree on your points.

  • Yes, especially when it is for their own good and everything has been explained to them.  Their success would greatly depend on the help of their parents.

Happy to return the compliment, TJ. During my time, there was no time for it. ADS was years away from being discovered, much less studied. They simply called the afflicted children bobo. Consigned to grade 10, row 4. Sayang, when something could have been done to make them more functional. Pero you know what? Some of those symptoms I observe in myself now. Serious. Reminders to myself, to do lists, pausing to relax when confused or frantic. These have helped. Of course, I don't have ADS. It's something else. :) I am fine, Julie! <ul> <li>So true, Annamanila. When I started studying about the conditions of these children, it dawned on me what might have done to some of my bully classmates and those who were repeaters of the grades we were in. I am wondering really what happened to them now. One of the things children with ADHD has a hard time with is choosing a college course. I know of someone who took his sweet time to finish studying when I know he is better than some or most people with the same interest and field. That's just it, he just can't seem to concentrate. Oh, he did finish, eventually. And now he has an MBA. Maybe he was changed when he got married. I don't really know.</li> </ul> Happily, surprisingly, I am first here too.
