If you haven't received a formal diagnosis, you may be wondering if your child could be struggling with ADHD? Let's take a deep breath and try and understand what it is...

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects concentration and overall decision-making. ADHD brains function on low norepinephrine and dopamine, which in return makes it challenging for the brain to regulate attention, emotion, and behavior. The lack of regulation in these areas can then be physically observed through impulsive behavior, restlessness, skewed perception of time, hyperactivity, along with poor decision making.
 
Children with ADHD are naturally creative usually demonstrate a higher EQ and IQ levels. These children are the ones that question everything, talk back, have teenage tantrums, are ridiculously talented at ONE thing (athletics, robotics, etc.), and are generally hard on themselves.
