Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects children’s ability to focus, stay organized, and control impulses. Kids with ADHD may be easily distracted, forgetful, or have difficulty completing tasks. They might also be hyperactive, constantly moving or fidgeting, and may struggle with impulsivity, acting without thinking.

ADHD can impact a child’s academic performance, social interactions, and self-esteem. They might find it hard to follow instructions, stay seated in class, or manage time effectively. Social challenges can arise because of impulsive behaviors or difficulty understanding social cues.

With appropriate support—such as behavioral therapy, accommodations in school, and sometimes medication—children with ADHD can thrive academically and socially. Understanding and patience from teachers, parents, and peers are vital to helping these children succeed and build confidence. Early intervention and tailored strategies can make a significant difference in their development and well-being.
