Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in kindergarten students

Abstract EN

Deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a well- known as a neuro-development disease.

It primarily manifests itself in the early stages of childhood growth.

The symptoms of ADHD include short attention span, impulsivity, anxiety, and behavioral motor problems.

This disorder has proved to negatively impact learning activities during the early stages of childhood development.

Research conducted has shown that ADHD being a neuro-developmental disorder, affects not only the academic performance of kindergarten students but also their general well-being.

Kindergarten caregivers are therefore supposed to be in a position to provide the proper support and care that the affected students require.

They, therefore, need to understand the symptoms, effects and supportive measures that are necessary in cases of ADHD.

Moreover, awareness campaigns should be conducted to create awareness of ADHD and the types of support that the caregivers should offer to their students.

Studies say that the increasing cases of ADHD are as a result of lack of sufficient knowledge about the disorder.

The promotion of continuous awareness campaigns will alleviate this problem by a considerable percentage.

Moreover, the teachers and the caregivers of the diagnosed students will gain more knowledge on how to handle different situations.
