Attention Disorders
Recently I just received a student with ADHD. ADHD is Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder affects children under the age of 19. Its characteristics are forgetfulness, distraction and poor impulse control. http://www.kidsource.com/kidsource/content/learningdis.html This student is very intelligence however he can't stay still. If someone takes too long to answer a question he would blurt it out. From time to time it can be frustrating when presenting a new topic. Treatment is to come up with behavioral parent training and therapy aimed to handle the child's condition.

One of my cousins have a 3 year old now he is hell, and I don't know what is wrong with this child. The boy cannot sit still for 1 minute, he is up from sunrise till midnight, he doesn't listen for anything but does the opposite of everything they tell him. He can't do one thing for 10 minutes, he looses interest, sometimes I am thinking if he is mental or just spoiled and need a good slap.
