What is ADHD all about ?
ADHD or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a common behavioural disorder that affects about 10% of school going children. And it is believed to affect boys thrice the time it affects the girls, however, the reason to this is still not known.
Children with ADHD act without thinking are extremely hyper and have major troubles in focussing. They would understand what you expect of them but would have issues in following the instructions as they cannot sit in a place or pay attention or focus on details.
Some Common Symptoms of ADHD
When it comes to ADHD there are three types;
# The inattentive type
# The Impulsive type
# The hyperactive type

I know what all you folks are probably thinking now 😉
Yes, Of course, all kids (especially the younger lots) act this way at times, particularly when they’re anxious or excited about something 🙂
But the difference with ADHD is that symptoms are present over a longer period of time and happen in different settings!
And most importantly, they hurt a child’s ability to function socially, academically, and at home. 😦
….Now this brings us to the end of today’s post 🙂
until next time, much love, prayers and good vibes from Geeka ❤
