More and more children today are being diagnosed with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). While children with ADHD will have issues with paying attention and generally are always in motion, symptoms can sometimes be misinterpreted and the children blamed as being willful or "bad seeds."
Socialization
Children with ADHD, especially at younger ages, have trouble getting along with other children. They can be aggressive and have little impulse control like waiting their turn in line.
Quiet Time
Children with ADHD don't like quiet time. They seek out greater stimuli (e.g. loud music) and tend to talk or sing constantly.
Inability to Sit Still
As the name suggests, these children are hyperactive. When sitting in a chair, they constantly tap their pencils or rotate their seats--if they can even remain in their seats.
Procrastination
Because children with ADHD are constantly looking for new sensory stimulation, they have trouble completing tasks on time. They constantly find other things to do before doing what is being asked of them.
Attention to Detail
Children with ADHD find the slightest noises or details fascinating. This is usually problematic unless their detailed attention can be directed toward something that is a requested task.
