My best friend has a five year old that is suffering badly in school. I recommend that she attempt to place him in an new environment and see if he would detain from distraction like he does in his home. He is unable to practice and do his homework at home. She complains that he does not listen and his behavior is out of control. I offered to let him come here and see if I could possibly practice letters with him like I do my own children. My friend claims she suspects that her son has ADHD, but I think parenting and lack of discipline is at fault here too. Does anybody have any suggestion on getting this child's attention??

Thanks
