Does my child have ADHD, or are they just hyperactive?

Question:

Does my child have ADHD, or are they just hyperactive?

Answer:

If your child is just impulsive — making snap decisions that aren't really impairing them — then this is fairly normal. If your child is exhibiting those symptoms at a much higher rate than their peers, and there is impairment in one or more areas, then perhaps you might be seeing some red flags for the disorder.
