What is ADHD? She climbs a tree and scrapes her knee Her dress has got a tear She waltzes on her way to Mass And whistles on the stair And underneath her wimple She has curlers in her hair I even heard her singing in the abbey Shes always late for chapel But her penitence is real Shes always late for everything Except for every meal I hate to have to say it But I very firmly feel Marias not an asset to the abbey Id like to say a word in her behalf Maria makes me laugh How do you solve a problem like Maria? How do you catch a cloud and pin it down? How do you find a word that means Maria? A flibbertijibbet! A will~o~the wisp! A clown! Many a thing you know youd like to tell her Many a thing she ought to understand But how do you make her stay And listen to all you say How do you keep a wave upon the sand Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria? How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand? When Im with her Im confused Out of focus and bemused And I never know exactly where I am Unpredictable as weather Shes as flighty as a feather Shes a darling! Shes a demon! Shes a lamb! Shed outpester any pest Drive a hornet form its nest She could throw a whirling dervish out of whirl She is gentle! She is wild! Shes a riddle! Shes a child! Shes a headache! Shes an angel! Shes a girl! How do you solve a problem like Maria? How do you catch and pin it down? How do you find a word that means Maria? A flibbertijibbet! A will~o~the wisp! A clown! Many a thing you know youd like to tell her Many a thing she ought to understand But how do you make her stay And listen to all you say How do you keep a wave upon the sand Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria? How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand? - Maria Song, The Sound of Music The Nuns from ‘The Sound of Music’ have perfectly described a child with ADHD, when they talk and sing about Maria. Indeed, those of you who have a hyperactive child in your midst will readily relate to the lyrics above. Indeed, how do you hold a moonbeam in your hand? Isn’t telling something to a child with ADHD really like trying to keep a wave upon the sand? Or catching a cloud and pinning it down? How often have parents wondered, how to make their little child stay still for a while and just listen to what they have to tell him? So, how indeed, do you solve a problem like Maria? Or rather, how do you deal with a problem like ADHD? Taken from ‘Taming the Tornado’ By Ms. Samindra Hardika - Sawant Lean about it in our L.D. course starting from 1st Feb 2014.
