Features: Such children have always existed. They come into the world so hyperactively. When changing diapers, the mother cannot leave him alone on the low cabinet for even a few minutes. The mother would rather wrap this active child and place him on the floor. In the bathtub, such a restless child can leap out of the mother's hands like a. At the dinner table, his behavior is as if ants are biting his buttocks. He is always moving, seemingly never able to sit still or let anything be still. Most of the time, his eyes are on his hands, so he grabs whatever he sees. Anyway, even when he is busy doing what he loves, something on his body is always in motion. He is then forced to shake his legs, bounce on a stool, or scratch his head. If he were in school, the teacher would give him a strict examination. It seems that people cannot easily ignore him or his restlessness. For such an active child, class is a torment as well as a challenge. Due to his high susceptibility to stimuli, he is easily distracted and finds it difficult to focus on a specific task. For example, when he needs to concentrate fully on dictation, a fly on the wall can distract him—this is the essence of the statement. He finds it difficult to calm himself down. He often shifts from one activity to another, and this is what is referred to as hyperactivity. Such active children are typical figures. We can find their image in the character of Peter Pan. They are quite reasonably described as spirited, as this natural trait is entirely absent in girls. Here are the explanations for this: Concentration, perseverance, attention, self-control, and motor coordination are abilities that are coordinated and developed in the brain. When this coordination mechanism is well-developed, people can distinguish what is important from what is not and can purposefully, as the situation requires, focus their abilities selectively. This task enriches people, allowing them to fully enjoy a rich life, both in the activities they engage in and in the peace of their minds. They can maintain their adaptability with purpose, stay calm, and maintain good manners. If the brain cannot achieve this coordination, people refer to it as a functional disorder. In the first three years after birth, during the period when brain tissue is fully mature, chronic functional disorders begin to form. In the early stages of life, boys are more prone to irritability and brain diseases, which is a fact. The disorders that appear in boys are not just ADHD but also other developmental disorders caused by the brain cortex, such as dyslexia, stuttering, and enuresis. Being an active child is a matter of fate. Active children are determined by their physical characteristics, and these characteristics cannot be changed. Those involved must learn to cope with this if they want to fully realize themselves—this is a special destiny and a special challenge. The children involved particularly need all possible specialized support to guide their lives. P17-18
