I test kids by their level of smartness not their ability to solve maths...
Him being smart is enough for you to be rest assured that he will handle it when the time comes.
Keep exposing him to many educational things at this age.
Watch cartoon with him from the beginning and at the end of it, let him tell you what happen in the cartoon.
Point and ask him the name of the characters while watching and see if he can recall their names when telling you the storyline at the end.

When adults act like children, they're taking the place of the latter and it's unacceptable. So kid-adults GROW UP.

Guide him ....but trust me he will adjust naturally while growing.

I have twin brothers like that. One was book conscious the other was very playful but highly intelligent. Both are brilliant but but the book conscious one always tell us the Kenny is more brilliant. Kenny will work on further maths but missed out the wrong answer or last step while all the working were correct.

When they got to university... with more matured mind on their diploma course to shoot them to university proper...taiwo got 4.8 GPA. Kenny got 5.0.

Kenny would later complete his university with 4.7 GPA while taiwo 4.3 GPA

Cautiously Guide him(pls understand that you will cause more damage if you go extreme)....but he will definitely grow. They always do!

Mallam, we are talking about a child not a COW

too much pressure on a 5year old already? Nigeria... I won't be surprise if u dictate what he will study in the University as I am seeing those signs already. is Maths the only subject? the pressure on the kid is already too much...

Happy New Year Everyone and May 2019 bring us good tidings.


I know there are lots of home owners or intending home owners here.

This is my way of helping you solve one of the biggest problem being faced by residents of Nigeria but I have good news for everyone here.

If you need prepaid meter in any of the South Western states, excluding Lagos, please feel free to contact me. The reason for excluding Lagos is because what we have is only recommended by IBEDC, which gives us an opportunity to serve all areas under IBEDC control.

You will be given your meter instantly after payment.

Interested persons should / can whatsapp me on 080 7597 4595.

It is genuine and our office is at Idiroko Just before you get to Canaan Land, Sango Ota.

We have sold over tens of the meter and we still have about about 37 pcs of single phase left. If you have a real estate company that needs meter for houses built, we can supply to your estate, any where in areas under IBEDC controlled states.

Thank you and I hope to see you on the other side.

I suspect fowl play. Take him to hospital for DNA test, your gateman might be the father

Asking for a friend

Stop him from watching cartoon during the week. If possible tv generally.

Let him play phone games on weekends

Then he should go to bed very early

Finally he should be reading words on tv anytime he’s allowed to watch tv. It will build his attention to things.

We should not take things for granted because we are trying to appreciate God. If she notices something unusual against his peers, she should look into it. Many 5 year olds can focus on tasks. It is better to address it rather than neglecting it.

That is how someone i know didnt do anything about the fact that her child had not started babbling and making noises at a particular age. They were waiting for God's time. By the time they decided to visit a doc, it was too late to correct the deafness and muteness.

Don't take things for granted

Go and watch Kevin Hart's new movie (Night school) and watch how his teacher taught him how to focus. Apply same method and the child will be fine

Great point you made there

He only watch TV at nights...around 7-9..he sleeps around 9

Okay. I am more concerned with how much TV he consumed between the ages of 1 and 4 years.
The evidence that heavy TV-watching at those young ages affects the cognition and concentration of kids is now looking very solid.
There is no real consensus right now, but I'd say 2 hours per day at age 5 isn't too much (see my point about timing below though). Two hours or more per day at earlier ages could have done some damage already though.

I suggest the following (note, I'm a Computer Science man, not a cognitive or developmental psychologist, but I have close friends who have worked in those areas):
1. Please try to limit TV time close to bed time. Yeah, I know (from personal experience!) how hard it is to find a way to keep an active young man like that occupied, but there's solid evidence that TV close to bed time is bad. VERY bad.
2. He still has a massive amount of neurological development ahead of him; I wouldn't be in a hurry to try to diagnose ADHD at all. Just consistently get him to form *healthy* habits. Ensure you get a lot of reading materials for him (phones, tablets=no, no!). Find ways of nudging him to try to stay focused for just a few more seconds each time you're together. If this doesn't yield any difference in a few months, talk to a professional.

Asking for a friend

He is just 5years old. His dad should relax. It is normal for kids to lack concentration at that age. If he has to supervise him for his home work he should do it in a quiet environment and try to encourage the lad. The dad wasn't an Albert Einstein at the boy's age. Not ideal he puts pressure on the boy. The lad will come through

Asking for a friend

He reminds me of me when I was little-easily distracted but very smart, nope no ADHD, it was just my behavior...
Mathematics isn't meant to be studied by everyone esp at a young age. Teach him things that catch his interest, eventually if he needs math he will gravitate towards it and that's usually motivated by peers at school.

I speak 4 foreign languages apart from English, that's because my mum noticed I had a head for grabbing other things asides math, so she hired foreign language teachers I.e French and Dutch ... that's how I was Tri-lingual at 9yrs old, I enjoyed talking and speaking French especially, came easily. Just imagine if she wasted time teaching me something that I had no interest for and wouldn't enter fluidly just for schools sake?
Would I have known these languages I know today?

Understand your children.

To all folks commenting beating, therapy, counselling etc. You all are Wrong. OP disregard their opinion and love your kid more. He is a rare Genius.

Don't be shocked when those things that distract him now eventually turn out to be his source of motivation.

He's smart and creative if you ask me.
For a 5yr old to be able to pick up things easily is a plus.
