Some children have huge difficulties paying attention to teachers or parents, are hyperactive or display extremely impulsive behaviour. Being in this situation is utterly challenging, not to say disruptive, for everyone involved. The child gets negative feedback nearly the whole day, parents get exhausted and have the impression that their education fails. At school teachers have to pay an unequal amount of attention to the child. Does this sound familiar to you?

Don’t hesitate to go to the doctor.

This may be a condition called ADHD which needs a professional diagnosis. Fortunately, ADHD can be treated. By allowing your child to be treated, you do him/her an enormous favour. Supported by his environment, the child will be able to pose acceptable behaviour at home and school, get more positive feedback and thus regain self-worth.
