[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone know the science behind this? Is it due to underdeveloped maturation + potentially annoying ( hyperactivity, impulsivity) behaviors ? Besides medication what helps ADHD kids improve their social skills/ social interactions?[/quote] Kids learn social skills from their peers. If a child has difficulty in socializing appropriately, it can be a problem. Impulsivity is one issue. Often kids with ADHD can have a short fuse/frustration threshold. Or they can have issues with inflexibility. ADHD can affect executive functioning--so problem solving may be a weakness for some kids. ADHD can make some kids super chatty or others unable to follow threads of conversations. It really depends on the kid and how severely they are affected. Try one-on-one play dates and a social skills group if your child is struggling. [/quote]
