Diagnosing ADHD in girls Girls are harder to diagnose with ADHD than boys are for several reasons. Many girls have symptoms such as shyness or dreaminess that don't fit the classic ADHD profile, which includes physical hyperactivity hyperactiv-ity and difficulty in school. To make matters more challenging, challeng-ing, girls' symptoms are often more subtle than boys'. If you think your daughter may have ADHD, here are some tips on what to do next. Trust your instincts and observations at home. If you believe that your daughter may have ADHD, don't wait for someone else, like a teacher teach-er or even your pediatrician, to make the suggestion before seeking help, because they may not see right away that there's anything wrong, says Patricia Quinn, a pediatrician on the board of the National Attention Deficit Disorder Association (ADDA) and coauthor coau-thor of Understanding Girls with ADHD. While boys with ADHD tend to show symptoms in two or more settings (such as home and school), girls are more likely to be able to compensate at school, functioning close to normal, and only "let it all out" at home, engaging in.dramatic battles with parents because they feel safer there. "Parents are the ones who have the most opportunity to observe the symptoms," says Quinn. "Many girls with ADHD are very well . behaved at school and appear to be paying attention. atten-tion. Teachers often claim that these girls have no symptoms whatsoever, when, in fact, they do have ADHD." One reason for this is that girls are more likely to want to please their teachers teach-ers than boys are and will work overtime to get good grades and fit in. Get an evaluation as early as possible. The vast majority major-ity of experts still believe that you usually can't diagnose a child with ADHD until she or he is in school, when the symptoms symp-toms become more pronounced against the backdrop of academic aca-demic demands. However, a well-trained practitioner may be able to see the roots of a problem in a preschooler or even a toddler. "In a few kids, core ADHD behaviors emerge during the toddler years, and in some the behavior is present pres-ent in the preschool years," says Martin Stein, co-chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics' subcommittee on ADHD. "Still, it's important The members of the Rock Point Cemetery Board would like you, the public, to know that Wayne Hall was a board member for many years and to know how much his dedication, his advice, and his friendship are appreciated.

Hope to see you Or.dropitoffat0ldTimeCandyJ2WestMiinStreet, Vemai on the bus! to realize that many of these behaviors are developmentally normal and don't necessarily indicate ADHD. You don't want to go looking for an ADHD diagnosis at such an early age unless your child's behavior is extreme." The important thing is to be tuned in to your child's behavior behav-ior regardless of her age. The earlier you identify a problem, the easier it will be for your child to learn how to function well in all areas of her life. In addition, starting treatment, such as behavior therapy, right away will help head off the secondary sec-ondary effects of ADHD, such as low self-esteem, depression, and falling behind in school. A few other important things to remember when evaluating your child's symptoms include closely monitoring diet and sugar intake and the amount of quality time spent with your child. Children are affected differently dif-ferently than adults in certain situations. Slight changes in your child's lifestyle habits can be effective in relieving a multitude multi-tude of symptoms. Contact your child's health care provider for answers to more important questions surrounding ADHD symptoms and other child behaviors. Friday, March 1 at 2 p.m., Maeser Elementary's first grade classes celebrated their hard work in learning about the U.S.A. Parents were invited invit-ed to attend the first graders presentation which was filled with patriotic songs and poems. Three classes, Miss Moore's class, Mrs. Crundall's class and Ms. McCurdy's class combined together to create a 68 student voice choir. Practice began in January after finishing a section of study on Patriotic symbols. "This Land is Your Land," "Freedom," "Yankee Doodle Dandy," "Abe Lincoln," "I'm a Soldier," "God Bless America" and "Stand Up for America" were among the songs they sang for visitors. Mrs. Crundall's class performed a poem entitled, enti-tled, "George Washington." Ms. McCurdy's class performed a poem, "Little Abe Lincoln," and Miss Moore's class performed per-formed the poem entitled "Sing a Song for Our Flag." Parents' and audience's voices filled the room when the students asked them to help in singing the second sec-ond time through the final song of "God Bless America." ! CP "George Washington" performs a poem. Creating a family newspaper As an extension of scrap-booking, scrap-booking, consider creating a family newspaper.
