I've chosen to write about Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, commonly known as ADHD, mainly because I've come across a few children with it and I wish to let everyone know that they really need to be understood. They need special care and should never be outcasted.

girls.

ADHD management usually involves some
combination of medications, behavior
therapy , lifestyle changes, and counseling.
Medications are only recommended as a
first-line treatment option in children who
have severe symptoms.

As a teacher, when I realise that ive a student with ADHD, I know I need to adjust myself to a certain level. The child needs special attention, but not so much so that he tries to take the upper hand.
I've learned that a hug and some loving words can work wonders on an ADHD child.
