Does your child have ADHD?
It’s on the radio, in the news…and in the classroom. We hear about ADD and ADHD on a regular basis, and it’s a very controversial topic. Does it even exist? Is it new or has it always existed? Is it caused by media exposure? Diet? Pollution? Given the list of symptoms, one wonders if half the population or more is on the attention deficient disorder spectrum. If so many people really have it, is it even a disorder? Rainbow Mountain teacher recently spend a whole day learning how to better identify traits of ADHD and how to serve children with attention issues in the classroom.
