ADHD is a learning disability that starts in childhood. It is thought to affect between 3 and 5% of the school age population. It affects the way children think, feel and act. Nearly all children are inattentive or overactive at times but for ADHD children their behavior can be extreme and disruptive. ADHD children find it difficult to concentrate or stay still and their performance at school tends to be poor. It is more common in boys.
Some parents have found diet helpful in controlling the behavior of their children with ADHD. When considering altering the diet of a baby or child it is important to seek advice from a nutritional therapist.
