ADHD IN CHILDREN

A common child disorder is Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Children with ADHD have difficulty concentrating and completing tasks. They may appear to make careless mistakes and don’t seem to pay attention or to listen to instructions. Sometimes, they may appear to be over active, fidgeting or getting up and moving around when they are supposed to be sitting still and concentrating on the school work or other activities. This behavior can be disruptive in the classroom and create stressful situations at home. They commonly underachieve academically and are often labeled as naughty or disobedient. They may suffer from poor self-esteem and have difficulty in keeping friends.

In truth children with ADHD have a medical condition which in part is related to how the chemistry of their brain is working. Because the brain controls personality and behaviour, the behavior of children with ADHD is different from that of other children.

At the Clinic we always believe the” The parent is always right, when it comes to his or her child” Parents are always the first in noticing development problems in their child and with the proper medical and social attention, children with ADHD can be helped. If ADHD is diagnosed at an early age and managed, then this will improve the child’s performance in all areas of life, especially at school and at home.
