We tend to overlook certain things in a child simply because they are growing and changing every day. However, this also increases chance of ignoring tell-tale signs of a neurological or psychological disorder. ADHD or Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is one such common neurodevelopmental condition in kids which could continue till adulthood and make the person impulsive, disorganised, with poor time management skills and restless. A child suffering from ADHD is typically inattentive, hyperactive, impulsive, easily distracted, forgetful, poor study skills, irritable. Because of ADHD, kids are not able to pay attention, control their emotions, and it is difficult to manage them in general.

Seattle Children’s Hospital – Ashley Speller and Heather Cooper
Winter can be a blue time of year for people of all ages, particularly as the days get shorter, darker and colder. These ‘winter blues’ can include feeling seasonally sad, irritable or fatigued, and can sometimes cause a decline in mood and motivation.
While it’s normal for all children to experience emotional ups and downs, including the winter blues, at least one in five kids will have a diagnosable mental health problem that needs treatment.

The Sheridan Press – Doug Sanders
I am the first to admit that I don’t include my kids enough while I am cooking. Most of the time I am just trying to get things done and a littler person asking me a bazillion questions and then losing their mind because they didn’t get to pour in the tablespoon of vegetable oil isn’t high on my list of things I want to do.

Harvard – Claire McCarthy, MD
Sibling rivalry is a remarkably normal feature of family life that can sometimes help to push children to do and be better. But too much squabbling and competition can also be hurtful, and can have lasting effects on how children view themselves and their family relationships.
In fact, a 2021 study on family dynamics links sibling bullying to a lower sense of competence, life satisfaction, and self-esteem in young adults. Earlier research found that being bullied by a sibling doubled the risk of depression and self-harm in early adulthood. While we don’t tend to think of fights and insults between siblings as bullying, the reality is that it can feel that way to a child.
