Über diesen Titel

ADHD is a problem with self-regulation or self-control. There are seven essential executive functions or self-regulation functions of the brain that are not as well developed as other kids of the same age. It is almost as though children with ADHD are 1-to-2 years behind other kids in their ability to self-monitor and organise themselves with everyday routines and planning throughout the day.

ADHD is not a problem of intelligence and not a deficiency of skills. Kids with ADHD have average intelligence and have the skills to perform the required tasks. However, they have difficulty carrying these tasks out. It is a problem of doing, not a problem of knowing what to do. It is a problem of executing what needs to be done, not a problem of knowing what needs to be done.

The self-regulatory or all executive functions of the brain. That is delayed in ADHD presents in high school.
