Does my daughter have ADD shes 16?
Answer:
It is a possibility, the best thing is get her tested. My daughter has ADD, I chose not to give her medications for it. I use an alternative diet plan. If she turns out to have it check out feingold.org I think it's great. But sound like it could be best way to know is get her tested
well, does she sit down and watch tv? listen to music? etc,,,,, if so, then chances are she is just being a teen, doesnt have ADD,,,,, try having her study for limited amounts of time, say 30 minutes,,,,,,,, girls go threw alot at this age,,,,, and many stop studying,, if you still have doubts , have her seen by a doctor,,,
Good chance. You can have her tested by a professional to be sure and she can take medication that will help her tremendously in being able to focus and finish projects. Good luck!
yes,it probably is!
my stepdad is almost 40 and he has slight ADD...no age is too old
That sounds alot like me, Just give her some pot, That'll shut her up
It could be, or she could also just be very very stressed. I actually have attention deficit disorder, and mine manifests itself more in that I jump from one subject to the next--people often say that I give them whiplash when I talk with them because I switch subjects without warning. When trying to get something done, I'm not hyperactive, just have an extremely hard time getting through one task at a time. What helps me is not having any outside noise when I'm trying to get something done, not even music. (I stop and listen and then get off on another mental track). I also take mini-breaks when I feel like my mind is wandering, and then I come back to my task determined to get it done before I do anything else. Hope this helps!
No probably no I used to be the same way . She just wants to pay attention to things that intrest her and school just doesnt try makeing important to her.
It's possible. If she loses track during EVERYTHING she does - like watching TV or doing stuff with friends. Speak to her doctor and see if he or she can recommend a neurologist who can run tests. If it's only school work she does this in, it may not be - she just may have learning issues or need tutoring.
it sounds like ADD. My daughter is seven and has been diagnosed for a year... and she had periods of time during homework where it was a battle just to get her to sit still.. your best bet would be to go to your GP and get a referal... there are a few tricks that she can do at home to help her study, i usually break up study time for my daughter into 15min increments that way she can walk away relax then come back to refocus on the problem at hand... one of the main things is to keep on encouraging her to keep trying.
