One symptom is the ADHD child has a tremendously hard time with following through with something, and it's usually instructions of some kind. This basically means that even tasks outside of school can be difficult for them to complete without constant reinforcement. However it is important not to mistake normal amounts of energy in children as an absolute sign of ADHD. Parents in general worry about their child’s overall energy levels. It is easy for a parent who is worried about their child to wonder if ADHD might be the problem. So it is imperative that you consider all of the possibilities.
