ADHD


Child with ADHD raises their hand to ask a question: Teacher, could you please repeat that? Other child jokes: Look who is holding the lesson back AGAIN haha. I have ADHD, that made me feel really bad. I can’t help it. Other Child apologizes: I’m sorry, I didn’t realize you were struggling to learn! Child with ADHD: It’s okay! I’m glad you understand.
