Effects can vary between different people. Most effects include: Hyperactivite & hard time paying attention (this is especially noticed in school).

Of course there are much more effects, but those are the most commonly noticed in children with ADHD.

Children with ADHD should be exercised whenever possible, so they can focus more..

May include, but not limited to: short attention span, hyperactivity, very talkative, cheerful, enthusiastic. They mostly act before thinking. You should be patient, and tell them when they begin to get out of hand. Trust me. I was like that for the 1st 10 years of my life.
