Caring for a child with ADHD

Express News Service
HYDERABAD:  We often overlook children who are inattentive, hyperactive and impulsive, and term them as ‘troublesome’ or ‘mischievous’. We often fail to observe and realise that these kids aren’t just ‘acting out’, but these signs indicate that their daily life is being affected negatively. When children tend to have problems with attention, organisation, impulse control and hyperactivity, it is said by clinical psychologists that it could be a sign of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). 
ADHD is a neurological disorder that is manifested in an individual’s behaviour and if not treated during childhood, could be carried forward to adulthood. This disorder makes it difficult for the individual to pay attention, listen to instructions, finish a task they have started and participate in activities that require mental effort. The child is also restless and persistently active. Therefore, we must notice these signs and identify them in children so that they are treated during the early stages.
