There are some cases children will have trouble paying attention to the person talking to them or even have trouble in the classroom at school. The WebMD sites and states that there are different types of ADHD inattentive type which means the child not paying attention to details of what is giving to them, get easily distracted and having difficulty finishing task and, they are forgetful about where they put they belongs sometimes if someone ask them. The other type of ADHA is Hyperactive -impulsive type which means the child have fidgeting problems that the child is unable to stay in one spot and there maybe times where children would take something from another child had that is playing with something or even reading, and they also have problems

talking to much or even blurting out things when someone is not talking to them. However, there are different types of medication that they give children that have those different problems that is going on. Some of the medication that they have children take may not help the child, so they will also try to send the child to therapy and have them help with the condition they are have issues with. The Diagnostic Criteria for ADD/ ADHD states that in the United States ADHD is diagnosed according to criteria specified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manuel of mental Disorders 4th Edition (DSM-IV).
