ADHD in Children

Kids being forgetful or easily distracted is normal, but if these traits are frequent at home, and school, it may be a sign of ADHD. While ADHD can pose challenges in academic and social contexts for children, appropriate support and intervention can help them succeed!

ADHD Certify offers diagnosis for children aged 5 and older. The earlier we can identify and treat ADHD the sooner the child can thrive and succeed in play and learning!

Symptoms of ADHD in Children

ADHD can massively affect how a child interacts with others and their performance at school. However, it is not uncommon for the condition to go unnoticed, persisting into adolescence and adulthood without proper diagnosis and treatment.

Symptoms of ADHD in Children:

Here are common symptoms of ADHD in adults:

Difficulty maintaining focus on tasks
Disorganisation
Delaying doing things
Struggles with meeting deadlines
Relationship Issues
Low frustration tolerance
Frequent task-switching difficulties
Challenges in initiating and completing projects
Mood Swings
Impulsiveness
Restlessness
Difficulty in Sustaining Concentration
Forgetfulness
Time Management
Difficulty Relaxing

By diagnosing and treating ADHD early, we optimise the child’s ability to build skills that can contribute to better academic, social, and emotional outcomes as they transition into adulthood. It is easy for us all to hope that if we ‘ignore’ something, it may simply go away, but unfortunately, in the case of ADHD, this never works.

Timely recognition and management not only enhance the quality of life for individuals with ADHD but also empower them to navigate challenges more effectively as they grow older.
