At some point, most children have difficulty sitting still, paying attention and controlling their impulses. But for children who have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), these behaviours occur more frequently and more severely than is typically observed in others of the same age group.
ADHD is a medically recognised disorder that makes it hard for children to sustain their attention and control their behaviour. For these children, each day can be a jumble of rapid-fire images, thoughts and sounds. They may become bored very quickly and fidget or squirm constantly. Organising their thoughts or waiting their turn can be unusually difficult for them. They may be disruptive in the classroom or at other gatherings of friends or family. Children with ADHD can sometimes appear to be difficult, but they don't behave in this way intentionally.
