Quick fix
Being a parent of a child with ADHD or other behavioral problems and learning disorders can be very difficult. It is exhausting trying find a way to help your child overcome these disorders and bad behavior and become the best possible them they can be.

Most of these symptoms sound a lot like ordinary everyday childhood things. Half of the adults we know have most of these symptoms. Parents and physicians have to be careful to make certain that the child is not just simply being a child (n.p.).
The American Academy of Pediatrics recently changed the guideline for the age a child can evaluated and treated for ADHD from the ages of 6 to12 years of age to 4 to 18 years of age. It is
