WHAT ARE SOME CLUES MY CHILD MIGHT HAVE ADHD?
Some signs/symptoms of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are: making careless mistakes in schoolwork, poor/low attention, not listening when spoken to, not following rules, poor organizational skills, forgetfulness, fidgeting, always on the go, interrupting others, and excessive talking. When these characteristics occur in various settings (i.e. school, home, sports groups, while shopping, etc.) it might be a good idea to take your child to their Doctor for an evaluation. If the signs/symptoms only occur at home, or in a single setting, it might indicate that something other than ADHD is occurring.
