My DGD is in the third grade and recently received extensive testing and found to have ADHD which was evaluated as being "off the charts". I tried to tutor her last summer during her vacation. She would do really good one day and then when she came back it would be very difficult for her to repeat what she accomplished two days prior. I really wondered if this was just her way of not wanting to spend time doing math and reading but soon decided otherwise. Here was a child that knew evey dinosaur's group name and could pronounce their names along with what food category each fell into since she was three. She is now receiving after school tutoring two or three nights a week. Today's children have so many more obstacles to deal with so early in their lives than we had growing up. I am so happy to have read your article about your DGD as it gives me hope that mine too will be able to successfully overcome each challenge life has to give her. Prayers for these children that they will persevere and become much stronger individuals in their adult lives.
