Abstract

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common syndrome among school age children, the early onset of symptoms include developmentally inappropriate concentration, inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity and academic underachievement. In addition the ADHD children usually experienced peer rejection, socially disinherited, low frustration to tolerance and negative self concept. Parents, teachers, nurses and friends know that, the child is misbehaving or different but it is difficult to tell exactly what is wrong. Children with ADHD are not able to adapt or compensate on their own areas of weakness and didn’t receive any help from parents, teachers or professionals. Those children should receive all the help necessary for coping with their areas of weakness and available to spare them the frustration and often associated that condition.
