Child psychotherapist Dr Colman Noctor and ieParenting editor Irene Feighan sit down to discuss Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and how to recognise it in children.
According to ADHD Ireland, five per cent of children have a diagnosis and it can often present differently in young boys and girls.
Dr Colman Noctor touches on the behavioural differences between ADD and ADHD and the importance of working to a child’s strengths.
He offers advice for parents who see a child with ADD or ADHD struggling to make friends and the one thing they can do to help.
