Summary/Abstract: Starting going to school is of exceptional importance for every child; it is one of the most important moments in its life. Every pupil sees in his or her teacher a very important person. It is especially emphasized that children with ADHD are very emotional. Therefore, such pupil will experience the rigidity and inaccessibility of the teacher as fear and loss of self-confidence. It is emphasized that the attitude of the teacher to such a pupil is of an exceptional importance. Every pupil, especially a highly emotional one, is sure to sense if the teacher is not motivated to have an individual approach to a pupil with difficulties of any kind. A pupil with ADHD disorder demands from the teacher a maximal quantity of energy, will, knowledge and tolerance. We have all met an inattentive and careless pupil in the classroom, and we would all like best to throw him out because he disturbs others at work both us and other pupils. Sure, this would be easiest, but it is inadmissible. So it would be more useful to make some effort and spend a few minutes working with such pupil rather than be constantly annoyed while passively watching how such pupil disturbs us during the classes. Let us ask ourselves whether we have ever tried to reach out to such pupil, to realize how much chaos and disorder there is in him. Have we tried to help him put that chaos in order? How often have we individualized the instruction, if only for the sake of one such pupil? Have we tried this only one single time?
