ADHD Child Interview

855 Words4 Pages

1. In the video, "ADHD Child vs. Non-ADHD Child Interview," how were the two children's answers to the questions the same and/or different? Which one do you think has ADHD and why? (6-10 sentences). • In the video, the two children had some similar answers and some different. Though I saw the difference right after hearing both of the children speak, the big differences started when the children where asked if they liked school. The boy in the video responded with yes, while the girl responded with no. Once that question was asked, the girl’s answers continued to be more negative than positive when answering the questions given. These are just a few reasons why I believe that the girl is the one that has ADHD. Though she has been diagnosed, …show more content…

It would be important for myself as a teacher to help her stay on task. I can see her being very social, so one of those distractions may be who she sits by in class. I would hope to sit down with Charlotte to discuss what her goals were for the year as she seemed very smart and understood what she goes through on a daily basis. 3. Looking at Armstrong's Chapter 3, "The Joys of ADHD," find and type up a quote from the chapter that you really resonate with (that is, it has particular meaning or importance to you or affects you in a personal or emotional way). Explain why this quote has resonance to you. (4-8 sentences). • “If we look beyond the classroom and out into the world with its many and varied niches, we see that there are actually a lot of successful people with ADHD. (pg. 52) • I personally feel this has a lot of importance. Many young people may struggle with ADHD and feel as if they are alone, when they are not. I feel it’s important to let these children know they are not alone and let them know of others who are affected by it. This book gives many examples of people from sport figures to scientist. As a child, if they can identify with someone it may help them and I would hope to use that if I were to ever have a child in my classroom with

    In the final section of the article, Richarz appeals to the emotion of fear by entitling the section “A generation of anxiety-ridden children”. This appeals to fear because “anxiety-ridden” is a phrase that has a negative meaning and would incite a sense of fear, especially when describing a generation of children. Furthermore, in this section Allan Richarz describes children with phrases such as “fearful of their own shadow”, that something “deprives children of important learning experiences”, “helplessness” and “smothered and fearful.” These are all phrases that have a negative meaning and things that no parent ever wants for their child. Finally, in the concluding sentence and title, Allan Richarz incites fear through describing childhood as a “terrifying and life-threatening condition”.

    Throughout the true story “One Child” by Torey L. Hayden, I have learned much about the behaviors of the students and been able to relate some of my own experiences to the book.

Anton, prior to this job has never worked with children before, let alone children with emotional and behavioral disorders.

    The book One Child by Torey Hayden was an excellent story told by a truly compassionate and caring educator. You could tell as you were reading the book that Torey had a heart for special education and emotionally disturbed children. She established her credibility from the beginning and kept me engaged in the story and locked on the story of Sheila’s life and educational journey. This story changed my views on the challenges of special education and melted the stereotypes that educators sometimes accuse special educators of proving them to be true.

    By writing about Olivia’s story as a father, rather than a writer, builds Gopnik’s ethos. But offering an opinion from the point of view of a parent may not be enough to win the trust of some readers, so the author also uses scientific facts to demonstrate knowledge regarding the subject matter. Gopnik uses his conversation with sister, who is a psychologist by profession, and asserts, “Most under-sevens (sixty-three percent to be scientific) have an invisible friend, and children create their imaginary playmates not out of trauma but out of … figures of pure fantasy, sometimes, as Olivia has done, as observations of grownup manners,” (Gopnik 3). Initially, the author thinks his daughter is experiencing trauma, but after
