ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) has been
with us for generations. ADHD is a very
broad term that varies from person to person.
The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) has estimated that there are
nearly 6 and a half million kids who have been diagnosed with ADHD. There are different types of this malady
including inattentiveness and hyperactivity.
It is natural for a child to be fidgety with a short
attention span. However, when this
becomes persistent to the point of disrupting their home or classroom then the
problem needs to be addressed. The signs
should be rather apparent. Consistently
not focusing on simple tasks or anyone speaking to them is warning sign. If your child talks excessively, squirms in
his or her seat, or interrupts others constantly ADHD may be the culprit.
Seek the help of a professional when you start to become
exasperated with your child’s erratic behavior.
