Bar Mitzvahs   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1722 of 2085 |
My ADHD son will soon be ready to prepare for his Bar Mitzvah, and I was
wondering what advice other parents who have already had Bar Mitzvahs for
their ADHD kids cna give me to make this process easier for my child. He
says he wants to do the entire parsha and haftarah, but I think I want to
give him a break. How have other parents of these kids handled the tasks
expected of a Bar Mitzvah boy. Also, can anyone recommend a Bar Mitzvah
teacher who works with ADHD kids, perhaps in the Gush Etzion area or
Jerusalem.

Thank you,

Deena

What I said about making a mistake was more focused on how the kid himself feels about making a mistake, but your point about asking people not to correct is...

while i have to support the idea that we should spend the year before bar mitzva preparing the boys to enjoy their simha and give it meaning, if a boy wants to...
