Question
My 6 years old son teacher complains alot of my child not paying attention at school. When he is paying attention, he is excellent. The problem also exist at home, but to a lesser extent. What can i do to help him.

Answer
Thanks for the question

Obviously there is a lot more to ADHD than what you have explained so the best thing i can suggest is that you check out my main site at http://www.adders.org and check through the information section for more details of the actual criteria and if you feel that your son fits this then check out the support group pages for where you are for details of a local group who will be able to offer you more help and support for your local area

hope this helps
