Things to remember when dealing with a restless child
• Many children show restless behaviour and have a poor attention span, especially when they are toddlers. When this becomes severe, it affects the child at home, school and with friends. This is called attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
• ADHD is best treated by giving advice to parents and teachers on how to deal with the behaviour and taking steps to reduce the problems the child has because of his poor attention span.
• It is advisable to refer the child to a specialist when possible. There are medicines that can help many
children with ADHD, but they should be given only by a specialist.
