2、The behavior of children with ADHD is often impulsive and without regard for time or consequences. What is the difference between lively children and children with ADHD? It is that the former acts in certain situations and disregards the consequences, lacking self-control. In contrast, normally lively children, constrained by time and place, exhibit some self-control.
