However children who have attention deficit hyperactive disorder have 3 main characteristics : Inattention (unable to finish a task, unable to concentrate) Hyperactivity (unable to sit still, climbing, jumping, fidgeting so much that mother has to keep a watch constantly) Impulsivity (does things without thinking, not scared or cautious) An Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder child is like this in almost all situations including games, TV watching as well as academics.
