| |
|
Hyperactivity and Attention Deficit are behavioral disorders that prevent a child from completing tasks and from exercising age-appropriate inhibition. Some of the characteristics of hyperactivity/attention deficit are a failure to listen to instructions, a lack of personal organization, fidgeting, talking too much, and having trouble paying attention to and responding to details. Hyperactivity and attention deficit disorders can be seen in children separately or together. |
|
Impulsivity is an inability to limit one's first reaction to a statement or situation. It is also characterized by acting before thinking. Children who demonstrate impulsivity may blurt out inappropriate comments, become very inpatient with others, or take things that don't belong to them. |
|
Depression is characterized by many things, among them persistent sadness, hopelessness, guilt, worthlessness and a loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyed. |
