Recognizing ADHD Symptoms in Your Child
Are you wondering if your child might have ADHD? According to the CDC, about 9.1% of children in New Jersey are affected by ADHD, with symptoms typically showing up before age 12. Recognizing the signs early is key to helping your child succeed.
Common ADHD symptoms in children include:
- Inattention: Struggling to finish homework, losing focus during class, or forgetting daily routines
- Hyperactivity: Constant fidgeting, difficulty staying seated, or an excess of energy
- Impulsivity: Interrupting others, acting without thinking, or taking unnecessary risks
- Emotional Challenges: Low frustration tolerance, irritability, or outbursts at home and school
Children with ADHD may also experience co-occurring issues such as anxiety, depression, or learning differences. That’s why a thorough evaluation is essential. Early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve your child’s academic performance, social skills, and self-confidence.

Understanding the Causes and Risk Factors for ADHD
Parents often ask: Did I do something wrong? Could I have prevented this? The truth is, ADHD is not caused by poor parenting or too much screen time. Research shows several contributing factors:
- Genetics: ADHD often runs in families
- Environmental Factors: Prenatal exposures or toxins can increase the likelihood of ADHD
- Brain Development: Differences in brain structure and activity affect attention and self-control
Myth buster: Sugar does not cause ADHD. While sugar may contribute to bursts of energy, research shows no direct link to ADHD symptoms.
Understanding these causes helps parents move past guilt and toward solutions. Partnering with specialists ensures children receive accurate diagnosis and care tailored to their needs.
