CHARLOTTE, N.C. — October is ADHD Awareness month. ADHD (Attention Deficit, Hyperactivity Disorder) is a condition typically diagnosed in childhood that often lasts into adulthood. Parenting Coach and Cognitive Specialist, Beatrice Moise joined Charlotte Today to talk about signs to look for in children and how you can help.
One of our first questions for Moise: How can parents tell if they're kids are suffering from ADHD? She says, be on the lookout for their behavior, mood and cognition. They may start getting fidgety, can’t focus, or they may start interrupting at inappropriate times.
She also suggests, checking with the school, to see if they are seeing any signs. Moise recommends, parents pay close attention to their child, and adds they can also partner with the school to create a plan for home.
ADHD is something that can impact a child's learning and can be lifelong. Learning to deal with it early is a great first step. For more information visit BeatreiceMoise.com
