| | Although the hyperactive child is often of normal or above-average intelligence, the condition is characterized by learning and behavioral problems. | | | Teachers and parents of a hyperactive child must cope with the child's short attention span, impulsiveness, emotional instability, and uncontrollable overactivity. | | | It is vitally important for parents of a hyperactive child to be good to themselves, to take appropriate breaks, to search out, and accept, help and support for themselves as well as for their child. |

| | Hyperactivity |
| | When the child's hyperactivity, distractibility, poor concentration, or impulsivity begin to affect performance in school, social relationships with other children, or behavior at home, ADHD may be suspected. | | | Given that ADHD tends to affect functioning most strongly in school, sometimes the teacher is the first to recognize that a child is hyperactive or inattentive and may point it out to the parents and/or consult with the school psychologist. | | | The mothers who thought their children had received sugar rated them as more hyperactive than the other children and were more critical of their behavior. |

| | This may be due to a lower likelihood of aggressive and antisocial behavior in girls and possibly a higher incidence of the inattentive-type of ADHD among girls. | | | The first-line medication used to treat ADHD are mostly stimulants, which work by stimulating the areas of the brain responsible for focus, attention, and impulse control. | | | The impulsiveness or poor inhibition persists throughout childhood into adulthood and may be manifest verbally (excessive talking, interrupting others, blurting out answers before question are finished, saying what's on your mind without regard to its consequences, etc.) or physically, as in doing things on impulse or a dare. |
