DS is 7 yrs old and in a "good" primary school in Year 2. At parents evening it came as no surprise to be told that DS's biggest problem is inability to focus & almost zero concentration. This is a problem that I have been highlighted since nursery school. He is not disruptive or badly behaved, but is unable to keep his mind on any work for more than 2 minutes.
The teacher said that "we need to get him to concentrate better" and I told her I agreed absolutely, but how do we do that and she sat back in her chair and said "well, that's the million dollar question".
She recommended DS be assessed by the SENCO person, but is there anything I can do in the meantime to help DS concentrate??????
He seems to me to be bright & interested in the world but is struggling so badly with spellings & maths that it is making his life miserable.
Any help or guidance you could give me would be very much appreciated.
