Discuss attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

What will be an ideal response?

Answers will vary. In ADHD, a child shows excessive inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. The degree of hyperactive behavior is crucial, because many normal children are overactive and fidgety from time to time.ADHD typically occurs by age seven. The hyperactivity and restlessness impair children's ability to function in school. They cannot sit still. They have difficulty getting along with others.ADHD is frequently "overdiagnosed" (Gordon et al., 2016; Schwartz & Cohen, 2013). Some children who misbehave in school are diagnosed with ADHD and medicated to encourage more acceptable behavior.
