Getting My Son's Attention Is So Frustrating

Hi alicia! I do encounter things like that at times to my daughter,she was really concentrated on what she is doing or watching. what I do is I usually talk about the things that she is much very concentrated with. If she is watching,I usually reacts to what she's watching and ask her some questions about it and she will answer me. I usually fit myself to her world first before letting her in to mine. If she feels I'm interested to what she likes then she will start listening to me and eventually,will tell her things I would like to tell her out of her activities. I'm trying to teach her now some lessons to prepare her for her first schooling. Most of the time,there's always a playtime with some educational ways I try to insert in our playtime and it's really effective. It's a wise step that you will see a doctor regarding the attitude of your son. I hope you will get positive results. Good luck!

Im not a doctor so, I dont want to say what it could be. I have a little step brother who is now 7 and he was the same way he cant foucus on things if other people are distracting him, he will ignore people if hes foucused on somthing and hes very hyper all the time he is getting better though since he started school but, when he was only 3 they diagnosised him with adhd. He was really bad as a kid he never listend, he would do the oppsite of what you would tell him to. I just want to say to watch how he acts you might just need to figure out what helps him.

with my son, i would have to divert his attention to me. i would have to make sure we had eye contact and make sure he understood everything we talked about. we repeated a lot of activities, so it would become a routine. he did outgrow out of it somewhat. i still make sure that we have eye contact when i want something important that needs to be done.

I feel that ADHD is over diagnosed. I would definitely llok at other options. Turn off the tv, take his toys away when you are trying to talk to him. Get him to be ina position where you are the only thing available for him to pay attention to. Also I love to watch nanny 911 and super nanny. I take little stuff that they do and apply it with my children. Although ny children are quite young. Have him assesed and see what the dr says. Then try to train him to do what you want him to do. He is young. My niece does the same thing to my sister and I feel its becuase she pretty much allows it. She has to make her listen. i feel to do that you have to take away the distractions. However each child is different it will be a trial and error until you find something that works for you and him. Good luck
