Sunday School
Hey, I am a helper for my church's sunday school class. The class I teach is made up of 4th and 5th graders. Well one of the 4th graders suffers from a disease, I dont know what its called..But he cant really focus on things. Its sort-of like ADHD but worse. So anyway, instead of him listening to the storys and doing crafts hes out of control. Sometimes I have to get his mom so she can calm him down. I told her that I would play with him while the other kids listened to the teacher every sunday. But I dont know what stuff we could do. Does anyone have any ideas? I also have to keep him quiet...so I dont know. I was thinking about coloring but hes a boy and I dont thinks little boys like to color. Thanks and I will rate:)

Bubbles. I have several friends with ADHD and they LOVE bubbles. I'm not sure if it's quiet though. But bubbles are great.

There are a lot of things that can entertain a little boy. That is a tricky age, I agree, but I know there is something he could find amusing. Try different things. When something doesn't work, move to the next. Bring an easy book for him that he could focus on as much as possible. Do a puzzle, ask him questions about himself, do something with a whiteboard. I always loved to draw on whiteboards because I found it amusing. Just experiment. I helped with kids under the age of 2 for over a year on Sundays. Some kids like being held a certain way, some liked being held the other way, each child is different. We would have to find out what the child was interested in to keep it occupied and happy. Hope I helped.

Good job for wanting to help out with him and at church that really shows alot of dedication. You guys could play legos. They take alot of brainwork to figure out how the pieces will go together to build a certain assignment. Give him an idea of what tobuild and watch him build it and help him when he needs it. Good Luck!

He's about 9 right? That's a tricky age. My sister is 10 and she loves to draw now (no more colouring books) and other art stuff, like collages. Or to make it more fun write a story together and illustrated it. Play doh is always enjoyable, or legos. Maybe try a couple board games or checkers or something.
I'm not sure of his exact condition, but try asking him what he likes to do. Definitly ask his mother if she has any ideas to keep him occupied.
