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.

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.
