Parenting and Behavioural Issues
: An Introduction to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
(ADHD)
No doubt some children are harder to manage than others. Some
have a hard time calming down, paying attention, or looking before
they leap - which in turn can cause numerous problems at home
and at school. Behavioral and academic difficulties are sometimes
caused by an on-going physical or mental condition. One such condition,
which probably affects about five percent of children, is known
as 'Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder,' or 'ADHD'
Though there's still no definitive cure for ADHD, in practically
all cases it is treatable and there's a lot that parents and teachers
can do to help. In fact, if treatment is to be successful, parents
and teachers need to be informed, and involved.
Since there are many interrelated aspects to ADHD, I suggest you
review all the following articles - preferably in this order.
