Distinction Between ADHD and Hyperactive Children
Children with ADHD exhibit behaviors that are purposeless and impulsive; typically, children who are ’troublesome’ or ’naughty’ have reasons and purposes behind their actions. Children with ADHD have poor self-control, are unable to sit still, and have difficulty focusing; in unfamiliar environments, children who are ’troublesome’ can restrain themselves.
