[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 155681, member: 1498"] I think that's normal for a five year old boy. Kindergarten has become the new first grade. Unfortunately many kids -- mostly the slower maturing boys -- simple aren't ready for the demands of first grade when they are five. Some aren't ready at six. I have to wonder if the people who develop and implement today's school curriculums paid any attention in their child psychology courses. Clearly the more demands to fit into a school environment put on younger children has coincided with the increase diagnosis of ADHD. Did it not occur to them that maybe little boys and girls aren't made to sit in a classroom for hours at a time? That the kids might be normal but the school environment isn't? FWIW, the idea that sugar makes kids hyper has never been supported by scientific studies. That sugar does [I]not[/I] make kids hyper is the official position of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Food additives and coloring are more likely a problem. However, they do advise contolling and cutting the consumption of sugar because of the empty calorie/obsesity issue. [/QUOTE]
