We've just had parents' evening for my 7yo DS (in year 2) and the teacher asked if we would be happy for them to bring someone in to observe him in the classroom. He is finding it very difficult to maintain focus on his work, and this is apparently requiring an adult to work with him almost constantly to keep him "on task" (which is obviously unsustainable). He's a very bright boy (and I realise that everyone says that) but very prone to daydreaming/losing concentration. I was very similar as a child and grew out of it, so part of me thinks that "this will pass" but equally feel that it must be a serious (and unusual) issue if the school are specifically concerned. He ocassionally complains that the classroom is too noisy and is able to work on a table outside the classroom if he wants to, but that doesn't seem to be helping with the focus.
We don't have any further information about what they'll be looking for, who will be doing the observation and when it will be (it was a 10 minute slot with the teacher, so difficult to ask too many questions). Really I'm just posting to see if anyone can let us know what to expect (or if anyone has any ideas about what they might be looking for). Thanks!
