Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurological disorder that affects a person’s ability to pay attention. Children with ADHD often have difficulty in school and may also have difficulty managing their emotions, such as being short-tempered. If not managed properly, it can be difficult for children to integrate into their society.
As a parent, it’s best to know what could be signs of ADHD and monitor your child’s ability to understand school lessons and social skills, to make sure there are no such issues.
Irina Gorelik, a child psychologist at Williamsburg Therapy Group, acknowledges that the signs of ADHD can be confused with other disorders. That’s why she spots some common signs and signals you should consult a professional.
