Alexey Pesotsky, author of the Instagram channel zloy_psyholog, practicing psychologist and father of a boy with ADHD, answers questions about how to make the school life of a hyperactive child as interesting, positive and effective as possible. An interview about what ADHD is and why hyperactivity and problems with concentration become a problem at school; how to help and support a child with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in their studies; about the fact that you shouldn’t rush a child – after all, everyone has their own pace of learning and their own characteristics! And also – personal life hacks from Alexey and his son Vova – how to improve their studies in elementary grades or master the skills of reading, memorizing and retelling information. “The school education system with its requirements and workload is not very friendly to children, parents and teachers. Such a system triggers a lack of support in all participants in the process. Meanwhile, learning should be interesting, not grades!” – Alexey believes. – Moreover, the school should train relevant competencies, and the world is changing so quickly that no one knows what competencies will be important in 5 years! “Quickly navigate the information space” is needed right now. But “reading” and other skills that were important in the times when we studied are no longer so necessary in the modern world... Moreover, the skills of “reading, remembering, retelling” are sooner or later formed outside of school! Therefore, either you will “break” the child and forcibly “shove” him into the school system, losing not only him, but your own, parental nerves and time, or you will be able to be on his side, support him, and not rush him.” Alexey Pesotsky's Instagram: www.instagram.com/zloy_psyholog/?hl=ru Watch an interview about supporting families with a hyperactive child with child psychologist Natalia Kurenkova on our channel MaPa • ADHD in children: advice from a psychologist for parents...
