ADHD
Understanding attention, impulsivity and hyperactivity — with practical strategies.
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) affects how a child manages attention, impulses and activity levels. Children with ADHD may find it hard to focus, sit still, or wait — often more than is expected for their age.
ADHD is not about a lack of effort or discipline. With understanding and the right support, children with ADHD do well — at home, at school and beyond.
What parents often notice
- •Difficulty sustaining attention, or seeming not to listen
- •Easily distracted, forgetful, or losing things often
- •Restlessness, fidgeting, or difficulty staying seated
- •Acting before thinking, interrupting, or difficulty waiting
- •Struggles at school that don't match the child's ability
Every child is different, and noticing one or two of these doesn't mean your child has adhd. If you're unsure, an assessment brings clarity.

Common questions
Isn't ADHD just normal childhood behaviour?
All children can be active or distractible. ADHD is diagnosed when these patterns are frequent, present across settings, and affect everyday life. A careful assessment tells the difference.
Does ADHD always mean medication?
No. Support often starts with understanding, strategies and school adjustments. Medication is one option that's discussed carefully with families where appropriate.
Can ADHD occur with other conditions?
Yes — ADHD can occur alongside learning difficulties, autism and others. A full assessment looks at the whole picture.
