Many children struggle with sitting still, listening attentively, or following instructions, even when they’re clearly given. While it’s normal for kids to daydream, forget their homework, or act impulsively from time to time, persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity may be signs of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
ADHD affects a child's ability to regulate impulses, attention, and activity levels, making everyday tasks more challenging. Some children with ADHD are constantly in motion, disrupting those around them, while others may appear quiet but struggle to stay focused. If your child is struggling with focus, hyperactivity, or impulsivity, early support can make a world of difference.
Common Signs of ADHD in Children:
- Have difficulty staying focused and are easily distracted
- Seem not to listen when spoken to
- Fidget and squirm constantly
- Talk excessively or interrupt others
- Act impulsively without thinking
- Have trouble managing frustration or emotions
Whether or not your child has ADHD, difficulty with focus, self-control, and hyperactivity can lead to frustration at school, trouble making friends, and low self-esteem. Without the right support, these challenges can impact the whole family.
The good news? Assessment and treatment can make a dramatic difference. With the right guidance, your child can learn the tools they need to succeed in school, build positive relationships, and improve self-confidence.
