I.Watch the video and answer the questions on it. Woman: Part of what we're doing we're going to teach kids who have a ADHD is to meditate and see how it helps, and so I want to get a sense of how how ADHDD affects you Inerviwer: You have ADHD? Pupil1: Yes! nter viewr: You know you got it? Pupil1: Yes! Interviwer: How can you tell? Pupil1: Well, when I get frustrated, I get overly frustrated sometimes when I can't do my work. I shut down too easily, and I sometimes just have problems overall working and just keeping my anger under control. Pupil 2: I can't sit straight, like sit there for a while and not fidget, and I can't concentrate for a long time like I had and I can get distracted easily. Pupil 3: It's sometimes harder for me to read and pay attention in class. Interviwer: Okay, and is that true at home too or when you're trying to do homework? Pupil1:Err, yeah, trying to do homework is kind of tough,too. Interviewer:Let me ask you about...d'you know what stress is, do you feel stress, pressure or tension?. Pupil4: I have a lot. I always have a lot.. Interviwer: A lot of stress? Pupil 4: Yeah, Interviewer:Okay, tell me about that. When do you feel stressed? How do you feel stressed? Pupul 4: Well, mostly when I'm doing homework, like I said, when I did something wrong, just, I could say I'm lean, mean stress machine. After three months of mediatation Pupil 1: You know, it's helped me with my schoolwork, not getting interested with my friends and just not getting some time with my parents, doing my homework better, not getting into so many fights at school, not getting people angry and stuff like that. Pupil 2: It's kind of easier for me to focus and concentrate my energy on one thing, then like going in, be trying to work on one thing and then fidgeting and trying to stop that and listen to the teacher at the same time. Pupil 3: I'm much more calm now than I used to be and less hyper, and a much more mature than I was. And now they want all my friends want me to come over to their house. Well, I don't stress as much anymore. Nice, it's like with my friends or whatever, but I don't stress that much anymore. So, basically what was doing is it's making me be able to focus. So I'm not under stress. It makes me a lot more confident than myself because there, I know that if I can't get one like a few things, I don't need to get stressed out about it. I just need to take a little time, go to something else, and then come back to it and work on it. It's working, it's improving their lives, it's improving their sense of self, it's empowering them. I mean, you can, I can say that over and over again, but I really do see it making a big difference. And I think that their futures are going to be so much brighter because of it. to sit straight =сидеть ровно to nfidget =крутиться to pay attention in class= быть внимательным на уроке to shut down =впадать в апатию a lean, mean stress machine =четко отлаженная стрессовая машина |
