ADHA is a condition: that causes children and also adults to have difficulty staying focused on one topic or activity. They are also very active or hyper. These folks are not "bad" but their behavior can annoy others. Try to have some compassion and humor w/them and it will help. They need to learn skills to help w/their condition also. Avoid excuses and blaming others for our behaviors. Peace and good health

Not bad: m Children with ADHD are not bad. they may be challenging and impulsive but they do not have conduct disorders as a rule. If a child has signs of a conduct disorder, it raised a question of correctness of the diagnosis.
