A child with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can experience problems with overactivity, impulsivity and risk taking. It can mean a child is disruptive, can make a real difference to their progress in school and impact on their relationships with their peers, friends, family and teachers.

This film explains how to identify and help a child showing the symptoms of ADHD.

Nip in the Bud® was set up to encourage awareness about mental health disorders in young children. Find out more about the charity at www.nipinthebud.org
