Question
My child is 13 years old and has been unable to sit still during tutoring sessions since the age of 7. He has trouble concentrating, is forgetful, and often forgets tasks assigned for the day. Although his grades are still good, I am worried that he might have ADHD.
Answer
ADHD is a psychological disorder characterized by inattention, short attention span, and hyperactivity that is disproportionate to the child’s age and developmental level, often accompanied by learning difficulties, behavioral problems, and social difficulties. If you suspect your child has ADHD, it is recommended to take them to a regular pediatric department for a medical consultation to understand their specific situation. There are training courses available to help improve a child’s focus.
