ADHD - Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
Inattention, hypeactivity, and impulsivity are the key behaviors of ADHD...
Which I suspect is ocurring in Garren.
Although it's is not very serious on him but it's better to control than to let loose.

Children with ADHD may be:

• Inattentive, but not hyperactive or implusive.
• Hyperactive and implusive, but able to pay attention.
• Inattentive, hyperactive and implusive. (Most common form of ADHD)

There are 3 types of ADHD identified:

1. ADHD, Combined type - Individual displays both inattentive and hypeactive/implusive symptoms.

2. ADHD, Predominantly Inattentive Type - Symptoms are primarily related to inattention. Individual does not display significant hyperactive/implusive behaviours.

3. ADHD, Predominantly Hyperactive-Implusive Type - Symptoms are primarily related to hyperactivity and implusivity. Individual does n, ot display significant attention problems.

It's not that children with ADHD can't pay attention, when they are into something they are very interested, they have no problem to focus and staying on the tasks. But they tend to get bored if the tasks is repetitive or boring. They also can't concentrate if they are things going around them. They need a quiet and calm environment in order to stay focus.

While many children are naturally quite active, kids with hyperactive symptoms of ADHD are always moving. Even when forced to sit still which can be diffcult for them, their foot taps, legs shaking, or finger drumming.

There are also positive sides for children with ADHD.

• Creativity - Children with ADHD are marvelously creative and imaginative. The child who daydreams and has ten different thoughts at once can become a master problem-solver, a fountain of ideas, or an inventive artist. Children with ADHD may be distracted but sometimes they notice what others don't see.
• Flexibility - Because children with ADHD consider a lot of options at once, they don't beome set on one alternative early on and more open to different ideas.
• Enthusiasm and spotaneity - Children with ADHD are rarely boring! They're interested in a lot of different things and have a lively personalities. In short, if they're not exasperating you (and sometimes even when they are), they're a lot of fun to be with.
• Energy and drive - When kids with ADHD are motivated, they work or play hard and strived to succeed. It actually may be difficult to distract them from a task that interests them, especially if the activity is interactive or hands-on.
