ADHD in Children
A child with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can experience problems with overactivity, impulsivity and risk taking. It can mean a child is disruptive, which can make a real difference to their progress in school and impact on their relationships with their peers, friends, family and teachers. This film explains how to identify and help a child showing the symptoms of ADHD.

Raising a Child with ODD and ADHD
ODD stands for Oppositional Defiant Disorder. It is a conduct disorder. Children with ODD frequently have severe temper tantrums, do things that annoy people, argue, defy adults’ requests, seem angry and spiteful and blame others for their own misbehaviour.

Further information:
ADHD can mean that normal routines, rules and activities cannot be approached in a traditional way. Just trying to understand your child will help you to tailor different approaches to see what works for them.
Children with ADHD often struggle with difficulty keeping attention, levels of activity and impulse control. These difficulties are present before the age of seven years and can affect many areas of the child’s and family’s life. Signs of ADHD in girls are also different – and less widely known – than those in boys, leading to many girls and women to go through life undiagnosed.
It may also be useful to speak to your child’s school about putting plans in place and educating them to the best of your ability about ADHD and how this may affect your child’s learning.
