ADHD

 

 


Some children can’t sit still. They appear distracted by every little thing and don’t seem to learn from their mistakes. These children disregard rules, even when they are punished repeatedly. They tend to act without thinking, and this results in many accidents and reprimands.

ADHD is one of the most common reasons children are referred to mental health professionals. Every classroom in the country probably has several children with ADHD. Raising any child is hard work but a child displaying the symptoms of ADHD can make the task overwhelming. There is at this point “no cure” however enough is understood about behaviour management to make the life of an ADHD child much less frustrating and free parents of guilt and anxiety.
