Mindfulness for Children with ADHD

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neuro-developmental disorder that can have a significant impact on a child's behaviour, academic performance, and social interactions. The effects of ADHD on children may include:

• Inattention: difficulty paying attention to details, following instructions, and completing tasks.

• Hyperactivity: having a hard time sitting still and may seem restless or fidgety.

• Impulsivity: act before thinking and have difficulty controlling their impulses.

• Academic difficulties: struggling with academic tasks, such as reading, writing, and math.

• Social difficulties: having trouble making and keeping friends, and may struggle with social interactions.
