Symptoms of ADHD in Children

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), also known as childhood hyperactivity, is a common neurodevelopmental disorder in children. It is primarily characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsive behaviors, specifically manifested as follows:

1. Inattention: Children have difficulty maintaining focus on tasks for extended periods, are easily distracted, especially during activities requiring sustained mental effort such as studying or doing homework. They often become sidetracked and frequently overlook or forget important details.

2. Hyperactivity:表现为过度活跃在不适当的情况下跑来跑去或爬上爬下;难以静坐，如在课堂上；经常打断他人讲话或游戏；难以排队等待或轮流做事。

3. Emotional impulsivity:表现为缺乏耐心，冲动行为频发，无法控制情绪，容易与人发生冲突，自我克制能力弱。

These behaviors are more pronounced and persistent compared to those of peers and can significantly impair academic performance, social interactions, and family life. If parents notice these symptoms in their child, prompt medical evaluation at a hospital is recommended.
