ADHD song

[Guest guest]

Since I know that some of you have kids with ADHD I wanted to share this cute song with you all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_K-m-jLjmtQIt's a boy singing about his ADHD, explaining it to his class. It's in dutch, but it does come with English subtitles. In case the subtitles are too small to read (they were almost too small for me unless I switched to fullscreen mode), I have typed them down for you here. "I'll be having my lecture today at half past tenI want to tell you something about myselfIt's something that I have and it is bothering meHere it is: I have ADHDI learned from the doctor, that it is a disorderI have been born with it, it's a substance that I missAnd because of that I'm often much too wild and much too activeI throw everything around, but it happens by accidentI am an everyday boyI'm not crazy, I'm not dumbI'm only too activeI don't understand whyIt is really annoyingBut I'm not pitiful at allI'm just an everyday boywith ADHDI have problems at school, not for a second can I sit stillAnd that's why the doctor prescribed me every day a pillI don't wiggle anymore, I don't throw with my penBut sometimes it looks like that I'm someone elseBut when I come home in the afternoon the pill's not working anymoreAll my friends have certainly noticed thatThen I must storm, let all the brakes goMy mum is saying then "Go and take a run thru the forest"I am an everyday boyI'm not crazy, I'm not dumbI'm only too activeI don't understand whyIt is really annoyingBut I'm not pitiful at allI'm just an everyday boywith ADHDIf I forget my pill once, then it goes wrong againThen the teacher says: "Boy you are not concentrating"I think about a thousand things, my thoughts are running wildI can't stay calm 'caus my head is much too fullI shuffle and I turn and I make a crazy soundI want to go to the toilet 'caus I must get out for a momentTeacher says: "Remain still, pay some attention now"I grab my books, but all the words are dancing thru my headI must concentrate, but I don't know what that isAnd now if I get a turn it definitely goes wrongI give the wrong answer from the wrong lessonI messed up again, but I did not do it on purposeI am an everyday boyI'm not crazy, I'm not dumbI'm only too activeI don't understand whyIt is really annoyingBut I'm not pitiful at allchoir: He is just an everyday boywith ADHDThat was my lesson, are there any questions?choir: noboy: ok"Since I'm not dutch, and don't speak or understand much dutch, I can't offer any aditional information, but it seems to be from a children's TV-show. Anyhow, it's really cute.love/Reb
