Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or A-D-H-D, is the most common behavioral disorder in children. It’s usually first diagnosed in childhood and often lasts into adulthood.
A child with ADHD might have trouble paying attention, daydream a lot, forget or lose things often, talk too much, or act without thinking about the consequences. Most children have trouble focusing or behaving at some time or another, but kids with ADHD have these symptoms much longer than other kids, and the symptoms cause serious problems at home, at school, and with friends.
In order to make sure your child reaches his or her full potential, it’s really important to get help for ADHD as early as possible. If you’re concerned that your child may have ADHD, talk to your health care provider.
