I will soon be tutoring a child that has ADHD and feel that this will pose a huge issue since the child will have a lack of interest to learn. Please give me advice on how I could control such a student while helping him in school as well. Thank you!
I am so sorry, thanks for clearing it up for me that children with ADHD just have a short attention span, not a disinterest in learning. I will be tutoring a twelve year old boy and do not think he is on medication. Thank you for everyone’s advice. So I will be sure to make lessons fun and exciting, keep it brief with breaks and rewards, and teach in small sections.
