Recognize the signs!

I mentioned in a previous post how individuals with the hyperactive/impulsive type of ADHD often exhibit more dominant characteristics which lead to earlier identification. This is compared to the inattentive type. Well, I found this clip that gave some signs to tell whether or not your childs inattentive actions could lead to a diagnosis.

TIPS:

• Remember, punishing your child for these types of actions may lower their overall self-esteem. Try your best to help your child try to justify their actions rather than assuming it all intentional.
• Try to spend a few minutes a day to focus on goals! (I want you to try to look me in the eye and understand me the next time we speak)
