ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder affecting children worldwide, including in Cambodia. In Khmer, ADHD is often described as “បញ្ហាការយកចិត្តទុកដាក់ និងអារម្មណ៍ភ្ញាក់ផ្អើល” (problems with attention and hyperactivity). Children with ADHD may struggle with focusing on tasks, controlling impulses, and managing their behavior, which can affect their learning and social skills.
Signs of ADHD Children
Recognizing the signs of ADHD early is crucial for effective intervention. Common symptoms include:
- Inattention: Difficulty concentrating, frequent daydreaming, and forgetting tasks.
- Hyperactivity: Constant movement, fidgeting, and difficulty staying seated.
- Impulsivity: Acting without thinking, interrupting others, and difficulty taking turns.
Parents and teachers may notice these behaviors at home or in the classroom. Understanding these signs can help seek appropriate support.
