Regarding 7yr old son. Than 3-4minutes.

It sounds like your son is displaying symptoms of attention difficulties and sensory sensitivity, which can be challenging but manageable with the right support. Here are some insights and suggestions: Understanding Attention Difficulties: Your son's tendency to get lost in his thoughts, difficulty staying focused, and struggles with activities requiring sustained attention are characteristic of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It's essential to recognize that attention difficulties can manifest differently in each child, and early intervention and support are key. Sensory Sensitivity: Your son's sensitivity to sounds and emotional reactions suggest sensory processing challenges. Sensory sensitivity can impact a child's ability to focus and regulate their emotions, especially in stimulating environments like crowded places or during activities that require sustained attention. Building Supportive Environment: Create a supportive environment at home and school that minimizes sensory distractions and provides structure and predictability. Consider using noise-canceling headphones or creating a quiet workspace for focused activities. Break Tasks into Smaller Steps: Help your son break down tasks into smaller, manageable steps to reduce overwhelm and improve focus. Use visual aids, timers, or checklists to provide structure and support during activities. Encourage Movement Breaks: Incorporate regular movement breaks into your son's routine to help him release excess energy and improve focus. Short bursts of physical activity can help regulate attention and increase alertness. Teach Mindfulness Techniques: Introduce mindfulness exercises or relaxation techniques to help your son learn to calm his mind and regulate his emotions. Simple activities like deep breathing or progressive muscle relaxation can be effective in reducing anxiety and improving focus. Seek Professional Evaluation: Consider seeking a comprehensive evaluation from a developmental pediatrician or child psychologist to assess your son's attention difficulties and sensory sensitivity. A professional evaluation can provide valuable insights into his needs and guide treatment planning. Explore Therapeutic Interventions: Occupational therapy or behavioral therapy can be beneficial in addressing attention difficulties and sensory sensitivity. These therapies focus on building skills in attention, self-regulation, and sensory integration to support your son's overall development and functioning. Promote Positive Reinforcement: Celebrate your son's successes and efforts, no matter how small. Positive reinforcement and encouragement can motivate him to stay focused and persist through challenges. By understanding your son's unique needs and providing targeted support, you can help him develop strategies to improve focus and succeed academically and socially. Collaborating with professionals and fostering a supportive environment at home and school are essential steps in guiding him toward focusing and thriving despite his challenges.

The next step is to schedule an evaluation with a developmental pediatrician or child psychologist to assess your son's attention difficulties and sensory sensitivity. This will provide valuable insights and guidance for creating a supportive plan tailored to his needs.

It sounds like your son may be experiencing challenges with attention and focus, which could potentially be related to ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). However, it's important not to jump to conclusions and to seek a proper evaluation from a child psychologist or paediatrician for an accurate diagnosis. Once you have a better understanding of your son's needs, the psychologist or pediatrician can provide guidance on how to support him effectively. This might include strategies for improving his focus, managing distractions, and maximizing his strengths. It's also important to empower him by celebrating his achievements and helping him develop coping mechanisms for any challenges he may face.

While I feel that your concerns about your 7- year old son's development as a person is valid as a mother, I also tend to get a feeling that there is nothing alarming about the way he is growing up. One thing that many parents seem to be doing in the modern-day child-rearing practice is to over-provide most things to their children. I am making this statement in a general way without presuming that you are such a parent. The over-provided children tend to lose (or fail to develop) many nature-gifted life skills. If you search the internet, you will find a list of essential life-skills for a growing up child, including one from the World Health Organisation (WHO). Please check out if your son is developing (or has developed) those essential life-skills as required at his age. If he appears to be having any deficiency in them in your assessment, I would suggest you to give him more personal experiences in those areas by providing him opportunities to engage himself in them (without spoon feeding), in an age-appropriate way. Maybe with this he will feel more self-responsible and start doing his homework etc. with better focus. One important thing that you may have to remember is telling him 'what to do' (which should be goal oriented) and not 'how to do' unless he seeks your help genuinely. When he learns to take responsibility for what he is required to do, you will find him becoming more responsible and focussed. While I feel that he will improve gradually with some changes in your approach towards him (taking him as an individual who has to be responsible for his actions and inactions in an age-appropriate way), I will also suggest you to seek professional help from a psychologist if the situation does not improve.
