What is Attention Deficit Hyper Activity?

# data[].attributes.body
Attention Deficit Hyper Activity, (ADHD), was previously named Attention Deficit Disorder, (ADD). ADHD is one of the most common conditions in childhood. It affects 11% of children ages 4 - 17. It is a mental disorder that can be managed with medication and therapy, but its doesn't completely go away. The symptoms are carried into adulthood making early intervention important. The earlier in age a child is given treatment, the less severe the symptoms are as adults. (Severity varies from case to case.)

Parenting a child with ADHD is challenging because children are hyperactive and are able to control their impulses. School becomes challenging because they tend to have trouble paying attention, interfering with life at school and home. Being patient and consistant, as I have learned, is key to raising a child with ADHD.

My 7 year old daughter was diagnosed with ADHD at age four. I was surprised because she was always well behaved. She seemed like any other child in her class. She is a very sweet girl and very caring, she might take a bit longer than her peers to complete her assignments, but she had good grades. As she entered elementary school her teacher during parent conference expressed concerns about Yasmin. She said that Yasmin seemed to be very frustrated during test and sometimes even began to cry. She showed me her work and none of the class work was completed. I knew my child was a bit more sensitive than other children, but I thought nothing of it. I just thought she a crybaby, as mean as it sounds. As time passed the crying became more frequent, and she began to day dream in class often. She began to have trouble paying attention for long periods of time.
At home I notice that she was very focused on her homework, but when it came to having dinner or breakfast she did wasn't all there. I would speak to her and would stare blankly at the table. There were times where she would get up and walk away while I was talking to her. She often assembled puzzles for fun, and when she had a hard time assembling one, she would spend long periods of time trying to figure it our, she cried, and refused me to help her.
Her teacher suggested having her evaluated at school. I had a meeting with the teacher and the school therapist, they explained the what the test consisted of and the results. They also provided me with resources for at home assistance.
In this post I have provide readings and resourced provided to me by therapist, and some tips I have researched for both parents and educators.
