After four years in college, my daughter graduated with high honors, with her bachelor’s degree. One of the myths of

This paper is about the management and treatment of children suffering from ADHD disorder. ADHD disorder has become common and widespread. The diagnosis of school age children has become increasingly high. School failure and social difficulties are contributed to ADHD. ADHD disorder takes away children's ability to control themselves.

According to Zack’s father the signs and symptoms I believe he is describing are from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) which is one of the most common childhood disorders and can continue through adolescence and adulthood. Symptoms include difficulty staying focused and paying attention, difficulty controlling behavior, and hyperactivity (over-activity) (nimh.nih.gov). Sometimes it can be hard to diagnose a child with ADHD because symptoms may look like other problems. For example, a child may seem quiet and well-behaved, but in fact he or she is having a hard time paying attention and is often distracted. Or, a child may act badly in school, but teachers don't realize that the child has ADHD.
