Over the past few years, the number of children diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has been on a significant increase. Children with ADHD are inattentive, restless, and impulsive. For them, the process of growth and development is much more difficult than for children with typical development. They have difficulties in everyday functioning in the family and school environment. These difficulties are evident in their emotional and social functioning. Due to their inappropriate and strong reactions, hyperactive children are frequently rejected and isolated by peers. In order for children with ADHD to become able to function successfully in everyday activities, they need understanding, support and help from adults, primarily from their parents and teachers. It should also be pointed out that children with ADHD, apart from the previously mentioned difficulties, also have numerous positive traits, strengths, and abilities. The contemporary approach to ADHD suggests neurodiversity as a possible alternative paradigm.
