Understanding ADHD as a Behavior Disorder

ADHD is not just an attention disorder but a broader behavior disorder that affects a child's self-control and self-regulation. It is important for parents to recognize that ADHD is a neurological condition primarily caused by genetic factors, although it can also be influenced by certain prenatal and environmental factors. The executive brain, responsible for self-control, is affected in individuals with ADHD. Understanding the complexities of ADHD helps parents approach their child's behavior with compassion and provide appropriate support.
