Children normally daydream during class, seldom fail to remember to do their homework, act without thinking, or get restless everywhere. Various studies have been made and conducted with regard ADHD, its nature and characteristics that can be found in a child. Results show that the signs and symptoms that are frequenting are based whether on what characteristic is dominant. There are three common and major symptoms of ADHD. They are inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.

There are also children diagnosed with this disorder that are just sitting quietly with the absence of their minds. Others are hyperactive and impulsive, but then they are able to pay attention. For some, they put too much concentration on a certain task and have difficulty diverting it to other things which are more productive. There are also some who are a little inattentive, but extremely impulsive.
