Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Does your child have trouble sitting still? Act without thinking first? Or often start but not finish things? Do these things cause problems for your child at school or at home? If the answer is “yes,” your child might have a common childhood medical condition called Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Many children have restless behaviors that are typical of ADHD. When fidgeting, poor concentration, or impulsiveness begin disrupting performance in school, at home, or in relationships with other children, the cause might be ADHD. Or, there might be a different cause. Getting the right diagnosis and treatment can help your child do better in the classroom, on the playground, and at home.
