Your child has ADHD, is achieving poor results and grade repetition is being suggested. Is it a good idea? For a pupil whose difficulties stem from attention, repeating the same year often does not solve the problem. Here are the points to consider. Reflecting on all the options helps you make the best decision for your child.
Grade repetition remains rare in France, and its rules have changed in recent years. Enquire with the school about the current procedure and the role given to the family’s opinion. Your views and those of your child must be heard.

ADHD does not disappear by repeating the year. Without adjustments or support, the same difficulties are likely to recur. This is why adjustments are essential.
The article C’est quoi le TDAH covers this question in detail.
Repeating a year can be experienced as a failure and weigh on self-esteem. The child is also separated from their classmates. It is important to talk about it with them.
This point is explained step by step in TDAH et estime de soi.

Setting up a PAP, strengthening adjustments, offering targeted support, therapeutic help or homework assistance is often more useful. These solutions address its difficulties more directly.

Do the difficulties come from ADHD? Have the adjustments been applied? Does the child have significant gaps? What do they think? These questions help you make an informed decision.
We cover this point in TDAH et notation.
In some cases, for example in cases of marked immaturity or very significant gaps, grade repetition may be considered. The decision must take the whole situation into account. Each situation should be examined on a case-by-case basis.
This topic is developed on our page TDAH et motivation.
Request a meeting to understand the reasons for the proposal and to present your child’s ADHD and their needs. Bring the assessment reports.
