Some say a lot of kids from Russia have adhd but he dont seem to have all the symtoms of it. The one I am concerned about is his attention in school he is eight going on nine soon and seems the teacher keeps telling me he is just not paying attention...Someone told me today I should look into a doctor to see if he may have this problem. Others say he is eight and that is how an eight year old acts..but I decided to get him checked..I dont want to mess around with his learning in school and having a hard time with life later on. I am at wits end..and dont know what to do....does anyone out there have a child who dont pay attention in school? He loves to learn outside of school and asks a lot of questions on what he is learning..could be the teacher is strict..I am going to sit in his class this week and view what is happening. Thank you for letting me vent I am a new mom and dont know how to handle this. I adopted my son from Russia going on six years.
