Its important question is hether the child to do the task immediately. Example: School work papers are all over the place. Everywhere I look there seems to be a commercial a print advertisements and what now appears to be the model in popular culture societal belief and in every other avenue that we hear about the supposed “ills” of ADHD. By now I have grown accustomed to seeing messages about ADHD treatment almost everywhere I look. Im not thrilled by it but most of them I can overlook. However this morning was different from others. People with ADD are prone to being involved in excessive physical and emotional responses to life experiences. Stress happens when our perceptions dont meet our expectations and we dont manage our reactions.
This is most noticeable in a school setting. Your child might also be easily distracted have a hard time following directions or seems always to be disorganized. Other ADHD signs you can observe in your child are forgetfulness and avoiding tedious tasks that require a long period of time to complete.
You can also observe your child type of activities. Have you noticed that your child has a difficult time playing by themselves or quietly? Your child might seem like they are constantly in motion or travel inappropriately such as running when they should be walking. Maybe you have seen your child lose their patience while waiting in line or have noticed they are interrupting conversations or people more than they used to.
If you see these ADHD signs in child you should take them to their pediatrician to begin a formal ADHD evaluation.
