Question

Astrid1 · Answer

What have you tried so far for him to learn it and listen?

Maybe use something he likes as an  example (Such as fruit snacks and put two and two next to each other and then have him count how many are in front of him?)

Astrid1 · Answer

And if he get's it right he gets the fruit snacks.

He is five years old there is no way he has ADHD it's called no discipline if he can't sit still and learn remember HE IS FIVE YEARS OLD five year old want to move around their brain is still developing and they'd much rather be doing something. Else like playing with toys or watching TV not stupid math

NotLeiland · Answer

Then dont ;-; Speaking from the big brother side of my I've found very different ways to make them listen. Get creative turn off the TV take away all the distractions

Astrid1 · Answer

Use the same idea I had used for the fruit snacks. This will at least get him motivated to do his work. Turn off the Television and any distractions and tell him he won't be able to watch TV or play with whatever until he finishes said questions. (such as 2+2)
