Attention & Focus Checklist —
A Gentle Way to Understand Your Child
A short, supportive checklist that helps you reflect on your child's attention, focus, and learning behaviours — at home, at school, and in online classes. It takes about 5 minutes, and your answers stay private on your device.
This is an educational reflection tool — not a medical test or diagnosis. ADHD can only be diagnosed by a qualified clinician.

How it works

You'll get a warm, plain-language summary of what your answers might suggest — never a diagnosis or a label.

How Danaa classes support focus
Every child learns differently. Our online Persian classes are built to keep easily-distracted learners engaged — gently, without pressure.
Shorter learning blocks
Sessions are paced in focused, bite-sized segments so attention has room to recover and reset.
Interactive, lively teachers
Our tutors keep classes hands-on with stories, games, and conversation — not passive lectures.
Visual learning materials
Colourful slides, images, and Persian cultural visuals help ideas stick for visual learners.
Built-in movement breaks
Short, playful breaks let restless energy out so children come back ready to focus again.
Matched with patient tutors
We pair your child with a calm, encouraging teacher who suits their temperament and pace.
Parent–teacher feedback
After classes, tutors share how your child engaged so you stay informed and reassured.
Frequently asked questions
No. This is a reflection tool for parents, not a diagnostic test. ADHD is a clinical diagnosis that can only be made by a qualified professional — such as a paediatrician, child psychologist, or psychiatrist — after a thorough assessment. This checklist simply helps you notice patterns and decide whether a conversation with a professional might be helpful.
Yes. Your answers are scored entirely within your own browser and are never sent or saved anywhere by default. We don't ask for your child's name, date of birth, or any medical record. If you choose to receive your summary by email at the end, we only collect the email address you provide, with your explicit consent.
Not necessarily. Many children — especially younger ones — show attention or restlessness patterns at times, particularly when tired, bored, or adjusting to a new routine. What matters more is how often these patterns appear, across different settings, and whether they affect learning or daily life. If you're concerned, the kindest next step is a calm chat with your child's teacher or doctor.
A good first point of contact is your child's paediatrician or family doctor, who can refer you onward if needed. Your school's counsellor or special educational needs coordinator (SENCO) can share what they observe in class. For a formal assessment, a child psychologist, educational psychologist, or developmental paediatrician is the right professional.
Children with attention or focus challenges can absolutely learn a second language — bilingualism is not harmful and can even be beneficial. The key is the right approach: shorter sessions, interactive teaching, visual support, and a patient tutor. That's exactly how Danaa's online Persian classes are designed, so learning feels playful rather than pressured.
About 5 minutes. There are around 26 short statements, and you simply choose how often each one fits your child. You can stop at any time, and nothing is saved unless you ask us to email your summary.
Curious how your child learns best?
Book a free, no-pressure trial class and watch how a patient Danaa tutor adapts to your child's pace and attention — in Persian, the language of their heritage.
