2Nd Grade Daughter Still Easily Distacted in School

In any classroom, there are many kids.
They commonly, have their desk in clusters.
Not rows.
Kids, need to learn to pace themselves and do assignments, if not they don't complete them.
In 2nd grade, there are more expectations... about the kid being more mature and independent, less hand holding.
In 3rd grade it will be more so.
And in 4th grade, it is a jump, into another level of the child needing to be more self-reliant and mature and independent.

What does the Teacher say?
No kid is still as a statue. But, they need to know, that when it is time to work, it is time to work.
IF her classroom is just too noisy and the other kids are just blabbering away and being noisy, THEN the TEACHER has to manage her class.
Some classes are chaotic. Some are very organized. It depends on the Teacher's classroom management.

Parent/ Teacher conferences, are only a few minutes. They cannot, cover EVERYTHING a parent asks, aside from the subject. Thus, if you want to query the Teacher about it, you need to contact her and set up an appointment, or e-mail her about your questions.

My daughter was like that from the end of first grade until 4th. In 2nd and 3rd grade she sat near the teacher and when the teacher saw she seemed to be off course, she would tap on her desk. It kind of helped. About the middle of 4th grade, about the beginning of the new year, she seemed to have it together and at the end, she got compliments about completing assignments and even advancing. She is a great student and very artistic. Her creativity really seemed to blossom when the cahnge came around and I sometimes wonder if that had anything to do with it--maybe a bunch of nervous energy (even internal) that she did not know how to handle.
BTW, I had her tested at 4 1/2 and again at 7 for ADHD or other and both times the docs said no.

My daughter is the same way (she's 8), and I'm not willing to jump to conclusions like ADHD. I think it's just focus. She is very easily distracted. At home in the morning, she has to get her clothes and such and come in my room and get dressed with me, or else she will get distracted with something and not get ready. She can't do her homework in front of the TV or listen to music or anything like that, or she'll get the answers wrong. She asked her teacher to move her away from a "talker" because she wasn't absorbing information.

I've taught my daughter to acknowledge and accept this about herself so she can manage. She's on the A-honor roll, top of her class. This is just something she has to deal with.

My son was a lot like that but we are pretty sure he has ADHD, but wont test him. Since he's been on a gymnastics team he has learned to focus better. But we have used other things to help him focus better like fish oil which we don't do all the time anymore and caffeine which helps a lot. It will be good to talk to the teacher and she or he may be able to give you pointers on things to help her.

This can be normal and so you will need to work with her. How are her test scores? If they have are all 100's it could be she is bored. This is the grade i think my eyesite started getting worse. I had no idea until 4ththe grade. I was also distracted because i was not always sure what was going on if it was being taught on the chalk board or overhead.just ask Lauren the teacher what she is is observing. Make sure your daughter also understands the expectations.
