Disheartening

Today, went to fetch Reia from School. Her Teacher talked to me about Reia's performance in school.

Did not show much improvement, always very restless, did not play the toys properly, dont want to do her worksheet, always find execuses, very inattentive in class.

The Teacher even said, sometimes, there's specialist from their headquarter will come over to help those "Special needs" students. However, that is only for K1 and above students. She will see how she could ask the 'specialist' to observe Reia and give their advice. Haiz... 

I know she has short concentration span, i thought she's still too young to focus. Now i think she's really show signs of  ADHD - Attention Deficit Disorder.

So what is ADHD?

We all know kids who can’t sit still, who never seem to listen, who don’t follow instructions no matter how clearly you present them, or who blurt out inappropriate comments at inappropriate times. Sometimes these children are labeled as troublemakers, or criticized for being lazy and undisciplined. However, they may have ADD/ADHD.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a disorder that appears in early childhood. You may know it by the name attention deficit disorder, or ADD. ADD/ADHD makes it difficult for people to inhibit their spontaneous responses—responses that can involve everything from movement to speech and attentiveness.

The signs and symptoms of ADD/ADHD typically appear before the age of seven. However, it can be difficult to distinguish between attention deficit disorder and normal “kid behavior.” If you spot just a few signs, or the symptoms appear only in some situations, it’s probably not ADD/ADHD. On the other hand, if your child shows a number of ADD/ADHD signs and symptoms that are present across all situations¾at home, at school, and at play¾it’s time to take a closer look. Once you understand the issues your child is struggling with, such as forgetfulness or difficulty paying attention in school, you can work together to find creative solutions and capitalize on strengths. The bottom line: you don’t have to wait for a diagnosis or rely on a medical professional to help your child.

Immediately, after reaching home. I reprimanded her, even took out worksheet and instructed her to finish writing before she could head down to the playground. She wrote one letter, and started to fidget, looked ard. I screamed at her and said Im gg to count to 5 for each letter. If she couldnt finish writing one letter within 5secs, Im gonna beat her arm! And I beat her Thrice before she started to focus and started to retreat everytime i raised my hand.

I am SICK!!!!
