CHILDREN'S HEALTH
ADD/ADHD Attention Deficit Disorder
Children have special needs through their various stages of development.
In the early years, it is important to monitor the milestones of development. As our children grow to school age, we want to ensure common issues like asthma, eczema and allergies are identified and well-managed. As they enter school we want to support healthy attention and focus, as well as physical activity. Throughout the school years, a whole new set of concerns appears. There has been a remarkable increase in attention deficit disorders, and there is no one single explanation for this.
- Impulsiveness.
- Disorganization and trouble with prioritizing.
- Poor time management.
- Difficulty focusing on tasks.
- Trouble multitasking.
- Excessive activity or restlessness.
- Poor planning.
- Easily frustrated and low tolerance.
