ADHD and Homeschooling

My child is diagnosed with ADHD. Ever since she was 2 years old, I noticed that she is more active than most of the children her age and when she started school in a conventional school, teachers were very reluctant to deal with her hyperactivity. Very few educators especially in preschool have the knowledge what more the expertise on how they should deal with kids with ADHD.

As a parent, I am aware that I should be an advocate of the ADHD education. I started researching about it - in books, in interviews, the net, pediatricians, behavioral physicians, psychologists, etc.

To the best of my knowledge, homeschooling is the best scenario a student with ADHD can have. Someone with ADHD can suffer tremendously and needlessly in the regular school setting. My child does not do well in writing. Her penmanship is simply not good. She can be picked on almost everyday by teachers and fellow students and her self-image is at stake. Being at home gives her a more relaxed atmosphere with everything she is familiar with. She can focused more on her lessons and can ask as many questions as she likes. She can learn at her own pace. She can be the best that God wants her to be. She can be herself.

Thank God for all the parents and teachers and friends who advocate homeschooling. They are our present-day heroes!
