Recognizing ADHD Symptoms in Children

Let our board-certified pediatricians help you identify ADHD symptoms in your child. 

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is classified as a neurobehavioral condition that describes a combination of symptoms. Early diagnosis and treatment of ADHD often prevents further learning disabilities and complications in maturing children.

Learning how to recognize ADHD symptoms in children often assists in the early detection of this medical condition. The board-certified pediatricians at AGC pediatrics in Cartersville and Calhoun, Georgia provide valuable advice and knowledge for parents who suspect that their children may suffer from ADHD.

Common Symptoms of Childhood ADHD

ADHD in children is characterized by a combination of symptoms, but the initial characteristics of this condition are impulsivity, hyperactivity, and inattention. Common symptoms of childhood ADHD often include:

Hyperactivity

·         Squirmy & fidgety
·         Inability to sit still
·         Constant movement
·         Excessive talking
·         Sometimes quick-tempered
·         Difficulty relaxing or playing quietly

Impulsivity

·         Speaking & acting before thinking
·         Blurts out answers & speaks at inappropriate times
·         Commonly interrupts other speakers
·         May invade others’ games or conversations
·         Powerful emotions often erupt in fits of anger or tantrums
·         May guess answers without solving problems

Inattention

·         Easily distracted & has difficulty focusing
·         Inattention to details
·         Inattentive to direction
·         Difficulty following instructions
·         Often displays boredom with incomplete tasks
·         Difficulty with organization, planning and project completion
·         Often loses toys, books, homework, and other items

If your child frequently displays one or more of these symptoms of ADHD, speak with one of the behavioral specialists at AGC Pediatrics in Cartersville and Calhoun, Georgia. If ADHD is left untreated, many children experience difficulty with academics and social situations.
