Komplementær pleje eller valgfri pleje?

Q My son seems to fade away, not pay attention, or lose focus when asked to do something. He puts on a blank stare and is slow to respond or react. I feel that he picks and chooses what he wants to pay attention to. He's somewhat active but lacking a bit in social skills. He'll be starting kindergarten on his fifth birthday and he'll be the youngest in his class. He was tested and the teachers feel that he can to do the work, but they complained a bit about his level of maturity. Do you think it's ADD? A It's really important to know if this is, in fact, selective attention, or if there's some kind of underlying attention or processing problem. I would like to know if your son acts this way in all situations, or just with you. For example, if he's playing with other kids, and they ask him to do something fun, does he lose focus or seem slow to respond? If so, he may have an auditory processing problem. It may take a bit longer than other kids for him to process language and the meaning behind it. His delays may be an indication of his need to 'buy time' to get meaning from language.

Jeg anbefaler at spille nogle spil der. Prøv, hvad Simon siger, og gør det med fagter. Brug symbolet for Simons bold (peg for eksempel på dit ansigt), peg derefter på ham (eller et andet barn) og demonstrer adfærden. Dette er sjovt og giver dig mulighed for at se, om dit barn reagerer hurtigere på visuelle signaler (såsom fagter og mimer) end på ord. Hvis du ikke er sikker, så spørg en logopæd/læge om at tage et kig. Spørg, om der er et medlem af skolen, der kan overvåge/vurdere det.

Du siger, at han måske mangler sociale færdigheder, og at lærerne er bekymrede for hans modenhed. Jeg vil gerne spørge, hvem konkurrerer du med? At sammenligne ham med de andre børn i børnehaven, hvoraf nogle måske er et år ældre end ham, er en upassende sammenligning. Bed din lærer om at observere ham eller konsulter en udviklingspsykolog med erfaring med små børn.

Jeg endte med at tro, at det var ADHD? Uden flere data og flere observationer kender vi ikke svaret, men ville det ikke være en skam at springe til den konklusion, når det eneste gale er, at han bare var en lille dreng? Tag dig god tid, spørg lokale eksperter og drag ikke forhastede konklusioner (forhast dem heller ikke).
