ADHD

There are three primary characteristics of ADHD: Inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, though all three are not always apparent in one child.

Children with ADHD may:

  • Have trouble staying focused or get easily distracted

  • Appear not to be listening when spoken to

  • Constantly “fidget” and “squirm”

  • Talk excessively

  • Act seemingly without thinking

  • Interrupt often, or say the wrong thing at the wrong time

  • Have a short temper or “short fuse”

These symptoms can cause problems in school and at home if left untreated. This can include having trouble making friends, low self-esteem, friction within the whole family, and other academic or interpersonal obstacles.
