We see many young kids who are normal in their behaviour. There are few kids who are not normal and these kids would not be able to pay attention, have difficulty controlling behaviour and have excessive activities etc. These kids are said to have mental disorder of neuro- developmental type or otherwise called as ADHD or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

It is said that before a kid turns 12 years of age the symptoms of ADHD appears in them. This ADHD affects the kid performance in the school plus it also creates issues in their personal relations. The exact reason why this ADHD affects certain kids is not clear even now. It is interesting to mention that this disorder affects the boys more when compared to girls.

These symptoms are found in the kids who have ADHD. They are

Self focussed behaviour - This is one of the common symptoms seen in the kids having ADHD. These kids are ignorant of others feelings and are restricted to themselves only. Interruptive behaviours are present in these kids with this disorder.

Lack of emotional control- This is also one symptom of this disorder in the children. Keeping the emotions in control is very important but kids having ADHD find it tough to keep their emotions in check and get involved in many issues.

Unable to sit in one particular place - If we notice the kids affected with ADHD we could find that they would not be able to sit in one particular place. Tendency of running around, jumping etc would be present in these kids. Fidgeting is seen in these kids.

Being loud - This is also seen in the kids with ADHD. These kids would not be able to play quietly and they shout, scream etc making it difficult to control them.

Uncompleted tasks - ADHD affected children find many interesting things to involve themselves. This often would lead to the tasks being incomplete.

Do many mistakes - Following the instructions and executing it is very difficult for the kids having this ADHD. As a result these kids do many mistakes. This doesn’t mean that these kids lack intelligence etc.
