How do those percentages sound to you? More than one in ten is at least 11% (you don’t have to be Euclid to do the math)! Did you know that The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that 11% of all American children ages 4-17 have Attention Deficit Disorder or as it is commonly known by the acronym ADHD?
If you did not already know, your male children are more prone to it than the females in your household. So, how do you know if your kid is one of those afflicted? Is your child (or children) having difficulty staying focused and paying attention, in addition to problems controlling behavior, and hyperactivity? Bingo!
Get the advice and opinion of someone who began practicing child psychology even before we had a broader knowledge of ADHD. That man is Dr. Steven Sussman. He is a renowned New York area child psychologist who has seen the world (and the youth that populate it) evolve over time. Please make an appointment at his Mountainside NJ or Staten Island office by calling (908) 217-8106.
