I once thought Ethan was an exceptional listener. I could ask him to do something and he would hop right to it. It was amazing how well he would respond. That was then.
It all came to a SCREECHING halt the day he turned four and since that perilous day, he's been on a downward spiral that makes those diagnosed with ADHD look focused. The kid gets distracted at the drop of a hat, or the feather on the ground, or the block he tripped over, or the t.v., or the thought of going outside, or the thought of staying inside, or, or, or.
Will we survive this disease of being four? Does the focus ever come back? Will there ever come a day when he is going to get his shoes from his room and he comes back with them again? Are your 4-year-olds like this too?
