You will experience children with varying characteristics as mentioned, which can be attributed to what they have been subjected to since infancy and how they are treated at home. This means age appropriate physiognomies in a child with ADD within one age bracket could differ from a child falling under a different age bracket. Such symptoms are heightened before the age of seven, post which the child’s behaviour will remain consistent over duration of a few years.
Children who display Attention Deficit Disorder will demonstrate the aforesaid characteristics a number of times a day and hence, it is easy to spot. These physiognomies are not caused by a specific situation, but can occur at any time, any place and any day. Commonly termed as a ‘Health Impaired’ aspect, children will ADD require special education centres and services (not necessarily a school for mentally challenged) that are well equipped with educators who know exactly how to handle such kids as they need special attention and care.
If you get a hint that your child is displaying such characteristics, have him/her checked and if diagnosed with ADD, have it documented by your medical expert accurately. This documentation is vital to assist the staff and educators of your child’s school with crucial and personalised information and help them manage the behavioural aspects of your child appropriately.
