My ADHD child was set to fail grade 1, was diagnosed, medicated and changed schools 3 times from grade 1 to grade 5 but is still thriving in multiple subjects, she is achieving multiple A’s each term and I couldn’t be prouder!
Very good video. Thank you. It is also challenging when you have child not identified for anything but you still struggle with them. What does this mean?
Thanks for your comment Vanessa! I’m really happy to hear you loved our video!
Children tap into different intelligences and at times excel in one rather than another, simply meaning that your child might be good at English but bad at Mathematics.

Take time to encourage them and most of all, love them unconditionally.
