One of the things I find mildly frustrating about teaching neurodivergent kiddos is when their parents give instructions (“Focus! Don’t wiggle! Look at the teacher!”) that assume their child’s brain is not going at 200 miles an hour ALL THE TIME.
Your child is awesome. It’s my job as a teacher to give that 200 mph brain something to DO to keep it engaged. Your child does not have an “Idle” button in their brain that they can press at will to become a passive child. And that’s a GOOD thing.
