I have ADD and I know that would have been a major distraction for me. I wouldn't be staring into space, but I wouldn't have been listening either. <br />I teacher kindergarten and I have one little girl who is on the moon most of the day, she has a new best friend who is almost as bad (I'm not sure whether to be glad the new friend has brought her back to earth, or frustrated that they now distract each other). I'm not really sure what to do with them most of the time, none of the tricks that worked great with my ADHD boys last year work!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11657137287938773976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574306774783973126.post-4019352100931225232013-10-15T11:46:13.744-07:002013-10-15T11:46:13.744-07:00As an adult with ADHD who works with ADHD and ADD ...As an adult with ADHD who works with ADHD and ADD girls all the time-- thank you so much!

It is just so hard for them, when they do not have the perfect social skills we expect of girls.<br />Great blog and TPT products!

She is allowed to listen to classical music while working and the difference is amazing. The way my ADD husband explains it to me (he has the same tendancy) is that it cuts out the constant stream of dialog going on and that white noise is almost annoying to him, like a constant buzzing to the rest of us. So, if quiet phones don't work try giving them some classical to listen to!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14421787181704673761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574306774783973126.post-32927034033758298602012-07-12T07:43:29.703-07:002012-07-12T07:43:29.703-07:00Great post!

Anyway, my oldest finally got help in ninth grade, and I've been more on top of things with my youngest. It presents itself completely different with girls, but I ache for the social problems it creates. Thanks for getting the word out!<br />Jenny<br /><br /><a href="http://owlthingsfirst.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Owl Things First</a>Owl Things Firsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10978780415995185795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574306774783973126.post-48971115830459331462012-07-02T11:49:38.305-07:002012-07-02T11:49:38.305-07:00I'm glad you ladies found some helpful informa...I'm glad you ladies found some helpful information with this post. I know I personally learned some new tips when I began reading about the difference between girls and boys with ADD/ADHD. <br /><br />For headphones, I've tried two different types. My tech teacher gave me some broken headphones that I cut off the cord and used. I've also bought some of the headphones at Home Depot ,that guys who use a jackhammer use. These are by far the best ones, but they are pricey. I think several years ago when I bought mine they were $25/piece. Sometimes your librarian also has broken headphones that she/he will donate to the cause.

She wants to please her teachers so much that this is all she focuses on, and misses the lesson. <br /><br />Thanks!<br />MichelleMichelle Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13608116396367173031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574306774783973126.post-74714414140866911182012-07-01T21:08:24.596-07:002012-07-01T21:08:24.596-07:00Great point!

I also have a son with ADHD so I get it all day long! I have had success with the office idea as well, but I have never tried headphones - I think I'll work on that for next year. What kind do you use?<br /><br />~Nikki<br /><a href="http://www.teachinginprogress.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Teaching in Progress</a>Nikki Sabistonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16310276917191243216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574306774783973126.post-7951417182421037262012-07-01T16:27:51.968-07:002012-07-01T16:27:51.968-07:00This is a wonderful post.
