Abstract
Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurobehavioral disorder of childhood and can
profoundly affect the academic achievement, well-being, and social interactions of children. It is more common in boys than
in girls. It is characterized by difficulty staying focused and paying attention, excessive activity and behavior without regards
to consequences,which is not appropriate for a person's age. There are also often problems with regulation of emotions. The
symptoms appear before a person is twelve years old, are present for more than six months, and cause problems in at least
two settings (such as school, home, or recreational activities).These symptoms can make it difficult for a child with ADHD to
succeed in scholar finish tasks at home
